School Notes

Westside Montessori School has provided toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and elementary school programs for children aged 18 months through 12 years old for more than 45 years in the Energy Corridor of Houston, Texas. Our mission is to nurture and educate the young child while upholding the American Montessori Society principles and philosophies.
Westside Montessori School is a non-profit organization, and our faculty is dedicated to the development of each child`s potential while maintaining and securing a beautifully prepared environment in which each child may grow and flourish.

Westside Montessori School was founded in Houston, Texas in the Spring of 1977 by a small group of passionate parents in the Memorial area. Their goal was to establish a parent cooperative affiliated with the American Montessori Society. We have operated as such continuously since the fall of 1977. We are very blessed to have many families and students from all around the world. Our school population reflects a wide diversity of cultures that WMS wholeheartedly embraces and values. The beauty of Montessori education is that it is universal and meets children's developmental needs no matter their country or background.
