Tour Joliet Montessori!
There is no other human being like your child, who was born with specific abilities, talents and interests; so why should their education be one size fits all? A Montessori education facilitates the development of your child into a happy, independent, and responsible young adult who continues to pursue knowledge beyond the classroom.
Montessori empowers your child to learn at his or her own pace, imparting valuable life skills such as motivation and self-discipline, decision making and problem solving, and developing critical thinking skills. In addition to presenting academic studies, a Montessori education facilitates key social skills such as communication, compassion, conflict resolution and the ability to adapt to a changing world.
Today’s Montessori students are tomorrow’s leaders and innovators!

The Montessori approach is a completely different way of learning that acknowledges it is how, not what, we learn that is important. While studies do show that our students perform academically as well or better than traditionally educated peers, we believe it’s their demonstrably better life skills that best prepare them for a complex world.

Think of how hatchlings learn to fly - not by listening quietly while an adult bird explains how to fly; not by being tested on their ability to memorize and recall. For birds, and for humans, learning is best when it’s active, not passive. We learn to fly by flying. Because, ultimately, it is only our own wings that have the power to take us higher

Alumni Spotlight
Chloe Cummings
What classes are you currently taking and what activities are you involved in?
I am currently attending the University of Missouri. I am majoring in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. I am enrolled in the pre-vet scholars program and involved in pre-vet club. The Pre-vet scholars program occupies most of my time at school because if I meet all of its criteria, I am guaranteed a spot in veterinary school at the University of Missouri. However, I am also involved in pre-med club because of my recent interests in the field of human medicine.
