Villa di Maria Montessori

It seems too impossible to be true, but our 6th years just spent their last full day at Villa Di Maria. After weeks of reflection, gratitude for friendship, and excitement for their futures, we know they are ready to fly. That’s the beauty of Villa Di Maria Montessori; we don’t just prepare our students to go somewhere, we prepare them to go ANYwhere🌎

(Now, if you’ll please excuse us, we need to stock up on more tissues🥹)

Upper elementary performed both plays “The Glitch” and “The Sword and the Stone” Friday evening for a packed house (pavilion), filled with parents, siblings, guides, friends, and even an alumni or two. Both of our classrooms worked tirelessly for weeks writing, rehearsing, designing, and fine tuning their plays, much to the benefit of anyone who was lucky enough to catch both shows!

The last week of school is upon us. Let us start with a show of formal gratitude for our community partners who poured into our annual fundraiser last month. Many, many thanks!

Each year, Villa Di Maria along with hundreds of other local non profits, participate in Give STL Day. This city wide day of giving is about more than just raising money for our school, it’s about supporting the greater community of organizations and institutions that are doing the good work.

Please consider supporting our good work by making donation to Villa Di Maria? Link in bio and in stories. THANK YOU!

May is always bittersweet as we prepare to say goodbye to our 6th years and watch our little ones move on to their next Montessori classroom journey. However, joy abounds with spring concerts, family campouts and our last day of school Field Day. May is truly the month for celebrating the incredible accomplishments of our students, staff, and families. Bring it on, May!
