Happy International Literacy Day! 🍎📚

At Apple, literacy is one of the core areas of focus in our well-rounded and enriched Montessori curriculum, with many students in our schools excelling in reading at the age of four. Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, we enhanced our unique, phonics-based reading program with a modernized approach that aligns with the Science of Reading. Head to the Apple blog now for more details on our program and how we foster a positive, natural learning experience for both reading and writing:

The start of a new school year is almost here! As we prepare to welcome our students back to Apple Montessori Schools for the 2026-27 school year, we'd like to remind you about our upcoming All-Schools Meet & Greet on Tuesday, September 8, from 2:00–3:30 p.m. Drop in any time!

We encourage you to bring your child along! The Meet & Greet is a wonderful opportunity for children to meet their teachers, visit their classroom, and become familiar with their school environment before the first day.

Whether your child is returning to the same classroom, moving up, or joining us for the very first time, spending some time in the classroom together can help build excitement and confidence for the year ahead. Parents will also have the opportunity to connect with teachers and other families as we get ready for what awaits! 🍎

Choosing a school for your child is a big decision. You can read about programs, explore photos, compare schedules, and research educational philosophies—but sometimes, you simply need to step inside a school to know how it feels.

That's why we've made it even easier for families to take that important first step with our new and improved Schedule a Tour experience:

For young children, some of the best learning begins with a simple question: What will happen if I try this? 🤔 That natural curiosity is something we encourage every day at Apple Montessori Schools. Children learn by touching, exploring, experimenting, observing, and discovering — building an understanding of the world around them through hands-on experiences.

And that kind of learning doesn't have to stop when your child leaves the classroom.

With just a few items you probably already have at home, you can create a simple science experiment that feels like play while encouraging concentration, independence, fine motor development, and scientific thinking: https://applemontessorischools.com/blog/simple-science-big-learning-try-this-montessori-inspired-experiment-at-home 🧪🌋

And just like that...

It's time for New Parent Orientations!

We're certainly not in the business of rushing the summer along, but we're also busy preparing for the upcoming 2026-27 school year and hope you're feeling as excited as we are!

For enrolled families, please check your inbox for details! For interested families who have already completed a tour, feel free to join us for New Parent Orientation. These events are set up as an opportunity to review all the important details necessary prior to the first day, from school calendars and policies to forms and supply lists and everything in between. We hope hearing this info & getting to interact with current families may provide some clarity as you make this important decision for your family. We know it's a big one, and we want to make sure you have all the details you need.

Reminder: children do not attend this event, but are invited for upcoming Meet & Greet events set for all schools on Tuesday, Sept. 8.

Orientation dates & times vary by location. Details here: https://applemontessorischools.com/2026-schoolyear-new-parent-orientation-events 🍎

Curiosity is at the heart of every Montessori classroom. 🤔 Children are encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas, solve problems, and discover how the world works through hands-on experiences. At Apple Montessori Schools, we're always looking for meaningful ways to build on that foundation—which is why we're excited to continue offering TinkRworks, our optional STEAM enrichment program for children ages 4 and up.

TinkRworks blends science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) into engaging, project-based experiences that encourage children to build, experiment, invent, and create. More than just a STEAM program, it's an opportunity for children to strengthen their critical thinking, creativity, and confidence while having fun bringing their ideas to life.

Learn more about the 2026-27 projects, registration deadlines, and more now on the blog:

Every great chef starts somewhere—and for many children, that journey begins with a simple recipe, a taste of a new fruit, or the excitement of helping prepare a snack.

This Culinarians Day, we're celebrating the joy of cooking and food exploration at Apple Montessori Schools. From our Young Chefs experiences during Summer Camp to the food prep & food tasting activities that take place in our classrooms throughout the school year, children are developing far more than kitchen skills. They're building confidence, independence, curiosity, and a willingness to try something new.

Every graduation season is filled with celebrations, proud families, and exciting plans for what's next. For us at Apple Montessori Schools, it's also a reminder of something special: every graduate's story began somewhere.
