Our Mission
Montessori Country School is committed to the Montessori method of education in supporting children to achieve self-discipline, self-mastery, and a life-long love of learning. We endeavor to honor individuality, nurture enthusiasm, and encourage independence in a carefully prepared environment where children learn with love, compassion, and respect.

"As parents, it is our deepest hope that our children will grow to know themselves as powerful citizens of the world and find happiness in the contributions they can make to society. Your program has not only nurtured a great love of learning in our child, but has given her the sense of possibility….of the impact one girl can have on her community. For that, we thank you."
