  • Our faculty who receive specialized training in the Montessori method. 
  • Our literacy approach and how we develop skills through personalized assessment and small group lessons.
  • Our Signature Enrichment Programs for 3- to 6-year-olds and how they reinforce the refined academic skills while offering extensive study in geography, French, Spanish, science, global awareness and cultural studies, and fine arts.

*MEET AND GREETS
Children applying to the Montessori 3-6-year-old Program will have a 20-minute “meet and greet” visit with the director or faculty member at a later date.

For families who have submitted an application for the Toddler Program (18- to 36-month-olds), meet and greets will happen in early January (Early Action) or late February (Regular Decision). Please note:
