Making an Informed Choice

Charter schools offer families an educational choice outside the traditional public school system, and each charter community is unique.

To help you make an informed decision, we encourage all families to become familiar with the Montessori method, our school’s philosophy, and structural expectations. Before applying, please review our comprehensive program options to determine whether our collaborative Montessori environment matches your child’s needs.
