Authentic Montessori education prepares children for life. At Villa di Maria, we take pride in educating the whole child, in helping each child construct a unique and meaningful existence and become the best adult they can be. Our academic curriculum spans the sciences and the humanities and is enriched with hands-on projects, student-led research, field trips, and class events. Every VdM student is encouraged to explore their interests and discover a lifelong drive for learning.
Villa di Maria serves children ages 14 months through 12 years. The Young Children's Community (YCC) is for children ages 14 months through 3 years. In the Children's House, you'll find children ages 3 through 6. Lower Elementary serves ages 6 through 9, and Upper Elementary serves ages 9 through 12. Each classroom is a mixed-age community environment, so that the youngest children have the opportunity to look to the older children as role models, and the older children flourish with this responsibility.
