Montessori (pronounced MON-tuh-SORE-ee) is a comprehensive educational approach from birth to adulthood based on the observation of children's needs in a variety of cultures all around the world.
The Montessori School of Agoura opened its doors in September 1979, after having moved from Woodland Hills where it was established by Ann Culhane in 1973.

School Notes
- Our students have the freedom to progress at their own pace, explore their world with self-led activities, and draw their own conclusions. They gain knowledge, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for learning.
- We understand that each preschooler is unique and at different stages of development, so we don`t compare abilities or encourage competition. Rather, we observe each child`s interests and build individualize lessons around them. When they graduate, they will be confident in taking the next steps of their educational journey.
