Bellevue Montessori School is providing excellence in education since 1966.
We believe a school must be a delight to the whole child.
We envision an atmosphere where teachers and parents are committed to achieve an empowering and fruitful education for the child.
We provide an age-appropriate curriculum that challenges the child with building blocks of experience each day.
Our active-living curriculum creates internal, instinctive and permanent understanding for the child.
The value of a fine education will be a positive influence on the child's attitude towards further learning.
