Why Mountaineer Montessori School?
We educate the whole child..
We focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking.
...and academics are our strength.
Our expansive academic and arts curriculum empowers individual potential and inspires a lifetime love of learning.
We're a community
We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child.
We meet children where they are
At MMS, we celebrate the unique and the boundless potential of each child. We understand that children do not learn according to an adult-prepared timeline or in perfect harmony with their peers. We follow the child as his leader, giving freedom to those who are ready to move ahead and pursue the challenges they crave and the time and support to those who need it. This customized approach helps each child take their learning as far as they can to reach their highest level of individual excellence!
Our programs
We offer expansive programs for children ages 2 through 14.


“I chose Montessori because the curriculum challenges students and allows them to experiment and engage with subjects in a unique way. My favorite thing about the school is how students learn, how they have a say in what they learn, which allows them to feel invested in their education and their future.”
- Nasrin Zanabli
