Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed
– Maria Montessori

A Life-Long Love of Learning

Serving Primary through Adolescence (ages 3-14) our independent, private school is based on the principles of Italian educator and physician, Dr. Maria Montessori. Her philosophy is best expressed in the words of a child: “Help me…to do it myself.”
Students at Cleveland Montessori achieve excellence — in math, reading, geography, social studies, writing, and science. Enrichment programs range from drama club, sports and Italian …to instrumental music and art. Before and after school programs, from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., accommodate schedules for working parents.
