School Notes

The Montessori Children's School of Key West provides a complete and authentic Montessori environment that fosters a love of learning in our children by adhering to Maria Montessori`s teaching methods.
Founded in 1972, our school is Key West`s oldest Montessori program, and has earned its reputation as the island`s premier Montessori school, educating children from 18 months through 10th grade.

At The Montessori Children`s School we believe that the role of teachers and parents is to "help the child do it alone". We allow children to learn independently through exploration at their own pace. We embrace our responsibility as early educators to these young absorbent minds, and hold steadfast to the belief that children are best able to develop their abilities to the fullest when guided during sensitive periods of early childhood. We set high standards to ensure our children receive an educational experience that will maximize their potential.Our classrooms are quite unlike anything you may have experienced in education and shatter the myth that young children are distracted, loud and unruly. To the contrary, our classrooms are peaceful, orderly environments, allowing children to thrive. We see it everyday, but you need to experience it yourself to believe. To schedule a tour email [email protected] or call 305.294.5302.The Children`s School is a non-profit organizationadministered by a volunteer board of directors consisting of parent and community members. The Children`s School began as a parent run school located across the street from our present location. It was a shotgun house that parents poured time and love into to create a unique learning environment for their children to grow and develop. What began as a one-classroom school has since developed into sixclassrooms, two ofwhich are recognized as historical by HARC. We offer Toddler, Primary, Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Adolescent programs as well as aftercare, holiday and summer camp programs. We are fortunate to now have students in our school whose own parents attended the school when they were children. We have been an active member of our community and will continue to be for many years to come. We are honored each time a parent entrusts their child`s education to The Montessori Children`s School.
