Beth Montessori

A new and innovative K-6 elementary school that maintains an approximate 12:1 student/teacher ratio.
We help the children learn to think critically, and outside the box! Our mission is to inspire a true joy in learning, and to create lifelong learners.
We don't teach to the test, but rather utilize authentic assessments.
We consider the whole child - mind, body, heart and soul - through unique programs such as individual academic learning plans, daily meditation and yoga, a cutting edge PE program, character development, communication and leadership skill development, and an emphasis on the creative arts as well as academics. Affiliated with Rainbow Kids Integral Preschool (www.RainbowKidsSchool.com).
