Welcome to Joliet Montessori School
A word from our Head of School, Mrs. Jan Novotny
Welcome to Joliet Montessori School, where students learn and grow in a happy, nurturing environment!
Thanks to many generous donations to our JMS Annual Fund, since Columbus Day we have been watching the “house next door” turn into our adolescent house, – a wonderful environment for the 12 to 15 year-olds to call their own. Additionally, by the end of summer the first phase of our enhanced outdoor educational environment had become a reality. New playground equipment and several new gardens, including a Peace Garden and a Zen Garden, had been created, due to much hard work and long hours put in by our volunteers.
This year we welcomed Ms. Suzannah Walter to the JMS community. Suzannah, an AMI-trained elementary directress with several years teaching and administrative experience, is the director of our new elementary class which is currently sharing a room with Ms. Viscovic. Next year, when our adolescents have moved to 1612, the new elementary class will take over Mr. Brandon’s classroom.
Once again, we are grateful for your interest in, and support of, Joliet Montessori School. Each one of you is an essential member – or potential member – of our JMS family, and we are grateful for all you do.
