Visiting Aurora Montessori School is a wonderful opportunity for you and your child to experience what makes our school unique.
Montessori education is a unique approach to learning that emphasizes the importance of self-directed learning, independent exploration, and creative thinking. It is an educational method founded by Italian physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s and is relevant today, more than ever before.
The many benefits of a Montessori education make it an excellent choice for children of all ages. These benefits include: a focus on individualized learning and meeting the unique needs of each student, a curriculum that places a strong emphasis on social-emotional development, a collaborative student-focused approach to learning, and a deep respect for one another, and the natural world, thereby creating caring global citizens.
Open Houses are scheduled on the third Saturday in October and January from 9:30 until noon. Prospective families must register for the Open House through the registration link found on the website pop-up.
School Tours are scheduled the last Wednesday of November, February, March and April at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Prospective families must register for School Tours through the registration link found on the website pop-up.
We look forward to meeting you and sharing our Montessori classrooms with you.
