About Woodinville Montessori School:

Woodinville Montessori School is a non-profit, independent, Montessori school that is fully accredited through 12th grade by NWAIS. Woodinville Montessori School is accredited by AMS for students aged 18 months to 17 years and approved by Washington State through 12th grade.The purpose of our school is to facilitate all aspects of growth: mental, physical, social, emotional and spiritual, by allowing children to exercise their natural curiosity, and to follow their interests within a varied and stimulating environment, in an atmosphere of love and respect, under the guidance of skilled teachers, to inspire a passion for excellence and a lifelong love of learning. At all levels, the development of strong personal values and respect for others are major goals. Children are encouraged to become attuned to their feelings and adept at expressing them. In this type of environment, they are free to become individuals who can live their lives with confidence, respect, responsibility, and in harmony with others.We operate according to the educational guidelines prescribed by Dr. Maria Montessori. From her physiological studies and observations of children, she provided us with scientifically designed learning materials and a unique method of education which we feel most appropriately fit the varied learning needs of young people. Contemporary research in brain development and learning theory has affirmed that her observations were extraordinarily accurate. In areas where research or cultural mandate have given us compelling reason to expand or update what Maria Montessori left in place, we have done so after careful evaluation and discussion.
