Montessori School of Waukesha is accredited by the American Montessori Society.
MSOW offers a unique educational experience. Multi-age class groups allow children to progress through the curriculum at their own pace.
Younger children are constantly stimulated by the interesting work of the older children.
At the same time, older students serve as role models for the younger ones.
A supportive atmosphere gives each child a chance to develop his or her own potential.
Our academic staff consists of trained and certified Montessori teachers and support staff whose goal is to help each child work toward his/her fullest potential. The school is operated by an Executive Director and staff.
The school has a Board of Directors comprised of parents of children enrolled in the school and community members.
Currently, the school is supported by tuition, before and after school program revenue, selected fundraising events, and donations from foundations and corporate supporters.
