Overview
The Sammamish Montessori School offers a carefully planned environment that provides a wide variety of learning experiences for preschool, kindergarten and elementary children.
During these formative years, children learn faster than at any other time of their lives.
Early experiences contribute significantly to the structure of the brain and its capacities.
Eton School educates the whole child and honors the diversity of each individual from Pre-elementary (Age 3) to Grade 8.
As a school that culminates with Grade 8, our focus is on the journey from a preschooler to an elementary child and then through the beginning of their adolescence, which is a very sensitive time.
Though our doors open only through eighth grade, the lessons, friendships, and confidence we nurture stay with our students forever-proof that being Age 3 through Grade 8 on purpose truly matters.
