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. We currently serve children ages 18 months to 6 years of age in classrooms designed to foster independence, concentration, cooperation and integrity.
