Many Rivers Montessori is a learning environment that fosters independent, academically prepared, and socially responsible citizens who will be lifelong learners and problem solvers.
We provide an ideal learning environment that focuses on the whole child during each stage of development from toddlerhood through adolescence — the benefits of which last a lifetime.
We offer Toddler, Primary (preschool + kindergarten) and Elementary
programs, serving children from 16 months through 12 years old.
Before-school and After-school care is available, as well as
continuous summer programming in June, July and August. We
are a nurturing community of students, teachers and families coming
together to grow a generation of students who can change the world.
The foundation of this is the 100-year-old Montessori method, which
undergirds everything we do at Many Rivers Montessori.
Every one of our classrooms has a lead teacher, or guide, certified
by the Association Montessori International (AMI-USA). We currently
employ seven AMI-certified guides and have four classroom
assistants with AMI Montessori assistant training. Many Rivers
Montessori seeks to fulfill the stringent requirements for becoming
an AMI Recognized School within the next three years. Many Rivers
Montessori is a New School Services member of the Independent
Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) and is actively
working towards completing that organization's rigorous independent
school accreditation process. ISACS is a membership organization of
more than 230 independent schools from 13 states of the Midwest
region, and promotes the development of strong learning communities
characterized by high achievements, social responsibility, and
independence of governance, programs and policies. Many Rivers
Montessori is also a candidate member of the National Association
of Independent Schools (NAIS). Many Rivers Montessori is licensed
as a child care center by the Minnesota Department of Human
Services.
We are located in the historic Jefferson School at 916 E. Third St.
This is a bright and spacious building one block from St. Luke's
Hospital and three blocks from the Lakewalk, Rose Garden, and Leif
Erikson Park. The building has large rooms, loads of lovely natural
light, and features a fenced-in natural playground and a garden.
This convenient, central location means our students have wonderful
opportunities to engage with the local community, enjoy outings by
Lake Superior, or perform a play on the bluestone stage of Leif
Erikson Park.
