What is Amherst Montessori School?
Amherst Montessori School, guided by the educational philosophy of Dr.
Maria Montessori, nurtures the natural unfolding of the whole child in
a supportive, culturally rich and diverse learning community.
Our belief is that, through the deep realization of each individual's
unique gifts and abilities, we become independent, self-motivated and
contributing members of the world community.
We are proud to offer an environment where learning is joyful.
Courtesy, acceptance, grace and compassion flourish and all children
are deeply respected.
Each classroom provides a full set of Montessori materials, designed for hands-on learning and guided by a certified Montessori teacher. Supported by outdoor learning and age-appropriate field trips, our classrooms create the center - but not the boundary - for the child's education.
