Overview
Mission
Our primary purpose is to operate a Montessori school for children ages three to eighteen.
What it reported doing in 2022
Our first year of operation was spent finding a location and securing a lease. We also purchased and set up our classroom furnishings and materials. We created a website and began marketing our new school to the public. To date, we have recruited nine students to our new school, and we will begin our first class for school year 2023-24 on August 28th.
