We believe that children never stop learning… …and that, if you provide them with an environment in which learning and play are indistinguishable, they continue to learn and grow no matter what the time of year.
In keeping with the Montessori philosophy, our Summer Program is designed to provide fun with a purpose. We believe it will provide children with an exceptional opportunity to play and learn, both indoors and outdoors, and through academic and arts enrichment, as well as physical activity.
Children need an opportunity to discover all of their gifts. We have created a program to give them that chance.
For children age three through twelve, we continue our summer tradition of a series of weekly intensives to accompany our sports, arts and academic activities, and will once again bring in extraordinary teachers and coaches to lead them.
