School Notes
- Our program encompasses a diverse range of topics, including mathematics, language, geography, science, social and cultural studies, music, art, practical life skills, and social skills.
- Our school is conveniently located on Northshore Drive near I-140. We are nestled within a quiet community and neighbored by a local church. We have ample outdoor space with privacy fencing and gardens for the children, and our school building was designed and built by a trained Montessori teacher for optimal use as a Montessori classroom.
- MIS is dedicated to providing a high-quality Montessori program for all children and families, and does not discriminate based on race, gender, disability, national origin, marital status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, or political affiliation. We have a wonderfully diverse student body and parent community, which we celebrate, respect, and enjoy.
