Experience Montessori Education from the Early Childhood years through High School, and discover the answer to the age-old question, “What did you do at school today?”

Walk through all classroom levels, Early Childhood through Senior year of High School. Notice how environments change as children grow and how materials relate from ages 3 to 18. At each classroom level, sit at student tables, and talk with teachers.

Every day, in Montessori classrooms, children and adolescents enter learning environments uniquely designed to meet their current educational, social, and intrinsic needs. The Discovering Montessori open house tour is parents’ opportunity to experience the children’s classroom communities at every grade level, and to see what might lie ahead for their child.

This is a self-paced Open House, where in every classroom level, teachers will be available to answer questions and provide explanations.

Bring your friends and neighbors!!

All Students Regardless of Race, Color, Religion, Gender, and National or Ethnic Origin are Eligible for Enrollment in School Of The Woods
