With guidance from certified Montessori teachers, students at Obama Montessori use hands-on materials to establish critical thinking skills and respond to real-world issues. Through multi-age classrooms, students develop relationships with the same teacher and community. Montessori education seeks to educate the whole child: developing social emotional skills while maintaining high academic expectations.
Our Mission: To nurture and empower individuals to become lifelong learners, skilled peace-makers and problem solvers.
