About the School
- The Elementary Workshop Montessori School has always been a place where children love to learn.
- The purpose of the Elementary Workshop Montessori School is to provide the highest quality education in a diverse, cohesive academic environment.
- In the Montessori tradition we foster each child's joy in learning and enable each child's fullest development.
- Young children have an intense desire to learn and they have unusual ability to absorb and learn from their environment.
- The school must foster what is natural, unique, and authentic in children.
- Since the best preparation for being a happy and useful adult is to live fully as a child, the school must be a community where children can exist first and foremost as children and not as future adults.
