“The child can only develop fully by means of experience in his environment.
We call such experience work.” ‑ Maria Montessori

Our Mission

Meher Montessori Schools educate children using the authentic Montessori method. We are a community that fosters self-confidence, leadership, and respect for self and others; students are encouraged to grow as self-motivated, intellectually engaged learners who will serve their larger communities as both accomplished students and ambassadors of peace.

“All that we ourselves are has been made by the child we were in the first two years of our lives.”
− Maria Montessori

Primary

Children of mixed ages (2½–6) are in each classroom. Each child is free to learn at his own level, pace and degree of interest. Younger and older children learn from each other. Each one is both a student and a teacher. Each classroom has a complete set of specialized Montessori teaching materials. Each of the materials has a specific skill to develop, quality to demonstrate or fact to reveal. Children are very active learners in such a strong and exciting learning atmosphere.

The Montessori Method vs. A Traditional Approach

“Education between the ages of 6 to 12 is ...a period for the acquisition of culture...” − Maria Montessori

Elementary

The elementary program continues the development of the child through age 12. The child will now explore all areas of Science, Language, Math, History, Geography, Music & Art, and will greatly expand his study of Mathematics.

“A child who has become master of her acts through long and repeated exercises ...is a child filled with health and joy and remarkable for her calmness and discipline.” ‑ Maria Montessori

“A child who concentrates is immensely happy.” ‑ Maria Montessori
