PENINSULA MONTESSORI SCHOOL

Montessori education offers children and families an alternative to traditional or charter schooling.

Each classroom at Peninsula Montessori School creates an environment based on a respect for the child, and each child's unique individual needs.

Compare Montessori and Traditional Schooling

"My vision of the future is no longer of people taking exams and proceeding on that certification... but of individuals passing from one stage of independence to a higher one, by means of their own activity, through their own effort of will, which constitutes the inner evolution of the individual." - Maria Montessori
