A ROBUST MONTESSORI

EDUCATION FOR AGES
2 THROUGH 14

Children are naturally curious, capable and excited to learn. They need a school that nurtures their curiosity and encourages them to discover their own path.

For six decades, Rogers Park Montessori School has guided children as they grow into independent thinkers, curious citizens, and empathetic leaders. Our belief in how children learn best has never been more relevant. We’re built for this moment.

Here, children learn independently and together in multi-age classrooms, building confidence as they work at their own pace.

Here, learning mirrors the way children naturally engage with the world—through hands-on exploration, meaningful work and joyful discovery. In an age of instant answers, children learn to ask better questions.

Here, curious toddlers grow into thoughtful young adults, ready for high school—and the wider world—with confidence, curiosity and purpose.

Dear Maria

Mixed Age Groups

Why aren’t all the kids the same age in a Montessori classroom? Mixed age groups are central to Montessori education. Older students know the classroom’s expectations and model them for younger students, who learn by watching their peers.
