Aaaaaand we’re back! It’s such a joy of Montessori classrooms that most children are retuning—they come in the door, say hello, tell you a little about their summer, and get right to work. We can’t wait to see the fruits of all their projects!

Beautiful things happen when children are offered inspiration, invitation, and time. Within a structure of warm accountability to themselves and their learning, Hyacinth Montessori students explore, develop, experiment, problem-solve, and create. Do you want a school where individuals are affirmed while also being challenged to contribute to their community? Where children are met where they are and supported to realize who they can be? Where we take joy in learning from and challenging one another? Where every interaction is rooted in deep respect for children and families? You’ve found it.
