Overview
St. Joseph Montessori School was established in 1968 as a preschool preparation program for St. Joseph Academy which was operated by the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Since then, it has grown to a preschool-8th grade Montessori school specializing in helping students recognize their unique potential.
Founded in 1982 by a group of entrepreneurs, The Wellington School was the first coeducational, independent school in Columbus, Ohio. Today, students in preschool through grade 12 benefit from small classes as they have the extraordinary opportunity to dive deeply into their pursuit of knowledge and discover the joy of lifelong learning.
Wellington's inclusive environment fosters educational excellence, prioritizes individual inquiry, ignites curiosity and creativity, promotes social responsibility, and prepares students to lead in an evolving global community.
