Mountain Laurel Montessori is a school for children between 16 months and 15 years of age (through 8th grade). One of the beauties of a Montessori environment is that both children with learning differences and those with exceptional abilities can be equally challenged and engaged in their work, due to mixed-age grouping and a thoughtful, individualized curriculum.

Mountain Laurel Montessori School admits students of any race, color, religion, and national or ethnic origin, to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities made available to students at the school.

We may not have immediate openings in some programs; however, when this is the case, submission of an application and application fee ensures that your child will be included on a wait-list to be considered for the next available placement. We prefer that children begin their Montessori experience by the age of 5, but we do accept older children without prior Montessori experience when we feel our school can meet their needs.

Decisions are based on the needs of our learning communities and appropriate age and gender balances.
