Countryside Montessori School

Founded in 1967, Countryside offers programs for 150 children from two months to 12 years old including an all day, year round program. The not-for-profit, independent school provides an environment that encourages children to develop Respect, Responsibility, and Resourcefulness.

In a Montessori school, students chart their own course. They learn by observing peers and older children, and are guided by sensitive teachers who encourage their initiative, support their efforts, and teach respect for others in the classroom.

A Toddler class (16 months - 3 years), four Primary classes (3 - 6 years), and an Elementary class (6 - 12 years) meet daily in a world-class facility. Physical education, Spanish, art, music, opportunities for service and leadership, and character education are integral parts of the curriculum. Every class has direct access to a beautiful, grassy playground with equipment and adequate space for running. Elementary school students perform in a student opera and musical each year in the school’s theater.

We have a stable faculty and all of the Montessori teachers are accredited by Association Montessori Internationale. The school is one of four Montessori schools in the state to be fully accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States.
