Why The Montessori School of Englewood?

Montessori embodies academic excellence

In a Montessori setting, academic excellence goes beyond traditional benchmarks and focuses on cultivating a deep, lasting understanding of concepts and fostering critical life skills.

We emphasize more than just academics

At our school, we focus on more than just academics by fostering a well-rounded approach to learning. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to introduce essential skills at the right moments when children are best prepared to absorb and grow. This approach promotes both intellectual and personal development.

We're a Community

We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child.
