Our Campus
Montessori Country School is located on four and a half acres of woodland property across from Battle Point Park. Our beautiful, natural environment is an integral part of our curriculum and of the children’s experience at school. The children learn about the plants and animals that surround them and take great pride in being stewards to their environment.
In Fall 2017, Montessori Country School completed a major expansion project at our Arrow Point Drive location, fulfilling our dream to consolidate our Early Childhood and Elementary programs on one campus. Our new facility includes two Elementary classrooms, three Primary classrooms, a Toddler classroom, a Parent Lounge and Conference Room, an Art Studio, and The Commons, a large community gathering space.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT STATEMENT

Place of the Clear Salt Water
“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” Chief Seattle 1854
We would like to acknowledge that Montessori Country School is on land that is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors for future generations as promised by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855.
