Melrose Montessori

Melrose Montessori School is a small independent school offering an authentic Montessori education for children ages 2.9 to 12. Its primary program serves children from 2.9 to six years old, and its elementary program serves ages six to 12, both in multi-age classrooms where children take charge of their own learning. The approach follows Maria Montessori’s original vision, aiming to nurture natural curiosity, a lifelong love of learning and a sense of being a citizen of the world.

Teachers are trained in the Montessori method and certified by the Association Montessori Internationale, the organization Maria Montessori founded. The school takes part in the AMI/USA Aspiring Schools Program, which reflects its commitment to AMI pedagogical standards. The setting is convenient for families in town, sitting directly across from the Melrose Public Library and within walking distance of downtown and neighborhood playgrounds.
