A Mountaineer Montessori education is shaped by many cherished traditions that have developed over our five decades. These special activities and events enrich our academic programming, foster friendships, and build lifetime memories for our students and their families.
Mountaineer Montessori traditions and special events include our annual ice-cream social and all-school picnic, trips to The Mountain Institute/Experience Learning, tie dye day, the Winter and Spring Concerts, 3rd Year Overnight, 6th Year Project, and 8th Year Graduation.
