The mission of North Star Montessori School is to provide an authentic Montessori learning environment that nurtures the whole child, adapting to meet each student's unique intellectual, emotional, physical, and spiritual needs. As a matter of policy and philosophy, North Star Montessori School hiring, admission, and operating procedures are nondiscriminatory in terms of race, color, religion, gender, national or ethnic origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Learning occurs in an inquisitive, cooperative, and nurturing atmosphere. Students increase their own knowledge through self and teacher initiated experiences. Learning takes place through the senses.
Students learn through manipulating materials and interacting with others.
These meaningful experiences are precursors to the abstract understanding of ideas. The individual is considered as a whole. The physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs are inseparable and equally important. Respect for self, others, the environment and life is necessary to develop a caring attitude toward all people and the planet. A summer program is also available.
