Since 1979, One World Montessori School has been committed to providing a complete Montessori education that incorporates an excellent learning environment, foreign languages, classes in the arts and parent education.
Our objective is for children to become independent, self-reliant people, aware of what they want from life, with the tools necessary to achieve their goals, develop a sense of self, and make their unique contribution to society. Establishing our school as a non-profit corporation has allowed us to provide a high quality, full educational environment for children.
