St. Croix Montessori

Yesterday's lesson: math, reading, and advanced mango consumption. 🥭
One of the many perks of going to school on an island, fresh mangoes in season! The only downside is figuring out how to keep mango juice off everything.

Want your child to have sweet moments on campus too? We're accepting applications for the 2026/27 school year now!

Our IB middle school students recently traded their desks for saddles and enjoyed an unforgettable field experience riding horses through the ocean!

As part of the IB philosophy of developing well-rounded, globally minded learners, students had the opportunity to connect with nature and build confidence in a unique and exciting environment. We are so proud of our students for embracing this opportunity with enthusiasm and courage!

Creativity took center stage as our Choir and Drama Club students proudly presented a series of original and entertaining skits! We are so proud of their courage to step into the spotlight.

Our 6th and 7th grade Design students proudly showcased their prototype toys created with a powerful purpose in mind: bringing comfort, creativity, and joy to children experiencing displacement around the world. Using recycled materials, students designed toys with dual purposes, encouraging both play and practical use while thinking critically about sustainability and the needs of others.

This project challenged students to build empathy, step into someone else’s shoes, and explore how thoughtful innovation can make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families facing difficult circumstances. We are so proud of their creativity on display today.

In a Montessori primary classroom, some of the most important learning happens through everyday tasks. Our students practice “Practical Life” work like preparing snacks, pouring water, washing tables, arranging flowers, and caring for their classroom environment. These activities help build independence, focus, coordination, confidence, and responsibility in a meaningful way.

At St. Croix Montessori & World School, children learn by doing, and even the smallest tasks help prepare them for bigger things ahead.

We are now accepting applications for enrollment for the 2026–2027 school year. Contact us to learn more or schedule a visit!

Today we proudly celebrated EMS Appreciation Week with a very special visit from our local EMS & Fire Services!

Our students had an unforgettable day exploring the ambulance and fire truck, learning about the important role first responders play in keeping our community safe, and even getting hands-on experiences along the way. Firefighters and EMS personnel read a story to the children, demonstrated emergency equipment, gave tours of the vehicles, and let students try out the water hose!

We are so grateful to the dedicated men and women who serve our island with courage, compassion, and care every single day. Thank you for taking the time to educate, inspire, and connect with our students in such a meaningful way.
