50 YEARS OF QUALITY
MONTESSORI EDUCATION
New World Montessori School has joyfully educated and nurtured children since its founding in 1975. Families choose New World because they want a school that supports every part of a child's development: social, emotional, physical, and intellectual. Here, honesty, kindness, and compassion matter as much as academic achievement.
Montessori education appeals to families who want something different than traditional schools can offer: a peaceful home away from home where children are deeply respected as capable, curious individuals and members of a community.
At New World, every child is welcomed into a calm, beautiful, low-tech classroom, carefully prepared so that children learn by doing. Each child works with scientifically designed, hands-on materials at their own pace, guided by a teacher who knows them well. In a small, mixed-age community, children build real friendships and grow in independence, concentration, and kindness as they master reading, writing, and math. Practical life skills, Spanish, physical education, art, music, and ample time outdoors are essential parts of school life, not extras.
Our primary and elementary teachers are all graduates of internationally respected AMI and AMS training centers. They offer loving guidance, inspiring classrooms, and lessons tailored to each child.

A Letter From Our Head of School
Dear Parents and Friends,
Imagine a world where all children are cherished, respected, and allowed to flower into their best selves. That Is the world that Maria Montessori envisioned and the world that we aspire to create. Our hope is that these children will go on to nurture our planet and lead humanity to a more peaceful and harmonious future.
The name of our school echoes the title of one of Maria Montessori’s books, Education for a New World, in which she explains that the purpose of education is not to transmit knowledge, but to release the immense potentialities within the child. From Dr. Montessori we learn to trust the child’s own laws of growth and follow the child’s lead.
As Maria Montessori said, “The child is endowed with an inner power which can guide us to a more luminous future.”
Montessori appeals to idealists, but that idealism is balanced by rigorous scientific study and observations that have been validated and endorsed by the educational experts of today. Montessori education lies at the intersection of science and idealism.
I have the honor of working in this idealistic/scientific arena where children’s natural gifts are nurtured and channeled, where they learn that work is joyful and that cooperation is more productive and rewarding than competition. I am profoundly grateful that I have the opportunity to do this work. It is my great privilege to serve the wonderful families who entrust their children to us, knowing that we will guide them gently but firmly toward a more luminous future.
Sincerely,
