Mission

The mission of Pioneer Valley Montessori School is to cultivate each child's natural desire to learn within a self-directing and stimulating Montessori environment. The community supports each child in acquiring and mastering academic skills, developing critical thinking ability, and in learning responsibility, cooperation and compassion.


Our mission is accomplished by:

Fostering a love of learning

Providing a curriculum adhering to rigorous Montessori standards, informed by current thinking and research on child development and learning

Embracing a diverse student body in which students experience and learn to respect ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences

Recognizing that personal growth involves learning responsibility toward others and toward the earth

Facilitating the involvement of parents, teachers, students and the larger community
