I want my child to think outside the box. Montessori is the answer. Magnolia is the school.

Not Just Tradition.

Science.

The Montessori method isn't just a century-old approach—it's validated by modern neuroscience.

Recent research from Harvard, MIT, and the American Academy of Pediatrics confirms what Montessori educators have practiced for generations:

  • Self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play are essential for brain development

  • Mixed-age classrooms provide significant social and academic benefits

  • Executive function skills develop best when children can choose meaningful work

  • Movement and cognition are closely linked during the crucial years of development

At Magnolia Montessori, our classrooms are designed to optimize how children naturally learn, based on both tradition and the latest understanding of developmental science. See for yourself at our next Walk-In Wednesday Tour.

What Families Are Saying About
Magnolia Montessori

Maggie’s first grade class at Whitehouse School includes three former Magnolia students (including her). All three were the only students from that class to qualify for the enrichment program. What a testament to the quality Montessori education they received at Magnolia!

  • - Sara, Magnolia Parent

Truly a wonderful school.! She had a great transition from the toddler classroom to the early childhood classroom, made several great friends, and we cannot be happier about her growing independence, caring for the world, understanding fairness, and building intellectual curiosity as a merely 3-year old!Thank you Magnolia!

  • - Gracie, Magnolia Parent

We are so happy with our experience at Magnolia Montessori School. My daughter loves going to school each day and has learned so much.
