The Highland Park Montessori Schools begin serving children at 6 months of age with our Parent-Child Programs.

They then progress to our academic programs which include their kindergarten year.

The Kindergarten Program is rich in language and math and exposes children to cultural studies and sciences.

The children leave our Montessori Kindergarten Program fully prepared for first grade.

Highland Park Montessori Schools admit students of any race, color, national, and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

They do not discriminate on basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of their education policies and admissions policies.

Montessori children are encouraged to exchange ideas and discuss their work freely with others.

Good communication is a fundamental skill to a successful future.
