Enrollment throughout each three year cycle (Toddler, Primary, Lower Elementary) is encouraged so that students may learn at their own pace.
A full spectrum of beautifully designed Montessori materials offer concrete hands-on experiences in each of the learning areas of the classroom; Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, and Geography/Science. Students are guided through the sequences as they achieve understanding and mastery at each level. Independence and confidence builds and self-motivation is maintained. Upon completion of the three-year cycle all students are competent learners well prepared for the next cycle or level of learning.

TESTIMONIALS from OUR FAMILIES
"Southampton Montessori is a grand little place on a hill tucked away in Southampton. My girls had some of their greatest milestones while attending the
school, but in truth so did we. The staff is vastly trained in educational and life skills which helps the children reach their full potential. But most importantly, they are verse in "parenting 101". And for those of us that were learning how to work through these milestones the pep talks and walks back to our cars were priceless."
