Undercroft Montessori School

Over the past two weeks, lower elementary students have explored beloved folktales such as Little Red Riding Hood, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Three Little Pigs.

Their creativity shined as they designed and built a puppet theater, then brought these classic stories to life through puppet shows and skits complete with costumes and performances. They wrapped up their theme, reading The Little Red Hen and working together to bake delicious bread to share as a special afternoon snack.

The new turf has arrived! 🌿

Thanks to the generous support of our Undercroft community, we were able to transform this outdoor space by replacing the crushed granite with beautiful new turf. Our students are already enjoying the refreshed area for work, play, and exploration.

We are so grateful for the partnership and support of our community in creating inviting environments where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Thank you for helping make this project possible!

Our Middle School Summer Camp students kicked off their summer with an unforgettable adventure across the Oklahoma Panhandle and beyond!

From digging for selenite crystals at the Great Salt Plains to hiking the striking peaks of Gloss Mountain and exploring the dunes at Little Sahara State Park, each day brought new opportunities for discovery and exploration.

Their journey continued through the fascinating depths of Alabaster Caverns, an evening campfire filled with s’mores while hanging out with our host family, and a challenging five-hour hike to Black Mesa, the highest point in Oklahoma. Along the way, students searched for fossils, stood at the unique point where Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico meet, and learned firsthand about the region’s rich natural history.

The adventure concluded with a hike around Mt. Capulin Volcano, a visit to Clayton Lake's dinosaur tracks, and a memorable evening at the Boise City Rodeo.

Experiences like these inspire independence, curiosity, resilience, and a deeper connection to the world around us. We are so proud of our students for embracing every challenge and making lasting memories together!

Earth Day is one of our favorite days of the year! 🌎 This year’s global theme, “Our Power, Our Planet,” inspired meaningful, hands-on experiences across our campus.

Each level took part in special activities to celebrate. Our middle school students partnered with early childhood to plant sunflowers and help care for their courtyards. lower elementary students planted flowers and spent time tending their gardens, while upper elementary explored renewable energy and created colorful pinwheels.

We wrapped up the day with a joyful, school-wide picnic on the playscape—such a wonderful way to celebrate our community and our planet!

Save the date! Our All School Picnic and Concert on the Playscape will be May 15th at 5:30 pm.

Our 6th Year students had an incredible experience at the Ozark Natural Science Center in Huntsville, Arkansas! 🌿✨

Over three days, they immersed themselves in the beauty of the Ozarks while exploring ecology, biology, and geology firsthand. From outdoor adventures to meaningful discoveries, this trip brought learning to life in unforgettable ways.

It was a truly special and meaningful experience for our 6th Year students!

We had the perfect weather for our Campus Beautification Day! ☀️🌿

A big thank you to everyone who came out to help pull weeds, spread mulch, and make our campus look its best. Your time and effort truly made a difference—we couldn’t have done it without you! 💚

We’re so grateful for such a supportive community!
