School Profile
Community Montessori is a focus school and the only public Montessori school in the Boulder Valley School District. We serve children from preschool through 5th grade. The preschool is tuition-based with scholarships readily available.
Our mission is to challenge the learning potential of each student through a child-centered, individualized approach based on respect for self, others and the environment. Manipulative learning materials are developmentally sequenced within the rich integrated curriculum. The classroom environment allows children to move freely and make challenging choices within safe limits and clear academic expectations.
Community Montessori's classrooms are multiage, primary (ages 3-6), lower elementary (ages 6-9) and upper elementary (ages 9-12). Students build a strong rapport with their teacher and peers through the continuity of the 3-year class cycle. Our program features outdoor learning centers as an expansion of each classroom.
We focus on family involvement and provide ample opportunities for parents to participate in their child's education. Services include after school childcare and extracurricular activities.
