One method, three rooms.
The Montessori continuum meets each child where she is, from the first pour of water at four to the college essay at seventeen.
Primary
The Primary classroom, sometimes called the Children's House, is where a four-year-old learns to pour, to sort, to trace a letter, and to finish what she started.

Elementary
Elementary students meet the Great Lessons: five stories about the universe, life on earth, human beings, writing and numbers. Everything else in the curriculum hangs from them.

Preparatory
Adolescents want work that matters and adults who take them seriously. Our middle and high school gives them both: a rigorous academic program and real responsibility for the community they belong to.
