Walden School
K–4 Montessori Program
Our classes are unique and are built around the way children naturally learn and thrive. Classes typically are made up of 2-3 year age levels in order to allow children to learn and grow at one’s own rate.
The typical Montessori classroom is beautifully described by Montessori educator and author, Ruth Hurvitz:
The classrooms are beautiful by design. They are set up in an open style, with work areas throughout the room and materials available on accessible shelving. Most lessons are given to small groups or individual children while other children are working independently. The school uses stories, Montessori materials, charts, time lines, objects of nature, treasures from the wealth of cultures around the world (and sometimes conventional tools) to teach the children. Guided by the teacher, Montessori students actively participate in planning their time and taking responsibility for their work. ~Ruth Hurvitz
Our students are also guided by the tenets of respect for all, peaceful community building, connecting with nature and the great outdoors, and living responsibly in a diverse and beautiful world. Come and see what a true Montessori school has to offer.
