The Montessori philosophy is to engage students in a way that emphasizes learning through all of their senses and not just the traditional teaching method. Their Montessori schools are for students and parents that want to excel beyond the typical private school experience. Their schools take a direct personalized approach to education. They offer kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school levels of learning. Schedule a tour today and see the difference the Montessori approach can make for your child! Creative World of Montessori private schools are preparing for the Montessori enrollment period for the next school year. In January, they host a Montessori Enrollment Open House. During this time, you can visit the Montessori classrooms and learn more about their schools from their Montessori teachers. Registration for the coming school year opens at the beginning of February.
