Welcome to Joliet Montessori School
Welcome to Joliet Montessori School, where students learn and grow in a happy, nurturing environment!
Walking into our school, you are greeted with a sense of calm and purposefulness. You notice children as young as three choosing their work, respecting each other’s space, and being happily productive.
Looking into our elementary classrooms, you see students making time-lines together, clustered around a pin-map, or writing a play. Others are working individually on math or penmanship.
Then visit the adolescent space. The director or a subject specialist is guiding the students to a love and enthusiasm for learning unusual in young teens. Wherever you go, you sense joy, respect and hope for the future.
If you haven’t visited JMS lately, give us a call. We’d love to show you around!

Joliet Montessori School Welcomes 18 New Families
Joliet Montessori School (JMS) is pleased to welcome 18 new families. These families are reaping the benefits of the Montessori method of education that concentrates on the overall development of the child, academically, socially, and physically. Through its unique use of hands-on materials in multi aged classrooms the children are allowed to develop at their own pace. Some of the benefits of this method include independence, responsibility and a love of learning.
The school’s Home and School Association (HSA) is sponsoring a Welcome Back Picnic to be held on Sunday, September 12 from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year it will be held at the school so families can enjoy the newly created outdoor environment.
To continue with our “Going Green” efforts, HSA is asking all families to bring their own reusable plates, utensil and cups along with either a snack or a dessert to share.
