We empower children to be self-reliant, responsible community members by nurturing mind, body, and spirit.
The Montessori Schools of Flagstaff follow the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician who developed a unique perspective in child education, a perspective that honors their natural aptitude for acquiring knowledge. Twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her educational methodology, she observed that children who are placed in a rich academic and socially prepared environment develop an innate love for learning — an attitude that promotes self-awareness and self-discipline. The child learns to appreciate and respect himself, his peers, his teachers, and his environment.
An American Montessori Society affiliate school, we are nonsectarian, family-oriented, and we build close working relationships among our students, parents, staff, and community members.
In addition to our tuition-free charter school (kindergarten, elementary, and middle school), we also offer tuition-based preschool, after school, and summer programs.
“The child’s work is to create the man he will become. The adult works to perfect the environment, but a child works to perfect himself.”
—Dr. Maria Montessori
