Saint Joseph Montessori School was founded by two young mothers back in 2016. We had been full-time Montessori teachers but believed it was time to focus on our own families and the home. We wanted our children to receive the loving, orderly approach to learning that the Montessori method provides, and trying to do it alone made us both throw up our hands. 

Inviting other families to join allowed us to spread out the work. Soon we were growing and hiring a Guide to take our places in the classroom. Becoming a nonprofit allowed me to step away, return as head of school for a season, and now serve on the Board of Directors.

Complementing and not replacing the home has been our mission since day one. We believe in the power of community to give our children not only the gift of friendship and life-long learning but also do the hardest work together: bringing our children into the Catholic faith that will root their lives in God's peace. Thanks to the legacy of Dr. Maria Montessori and the model of our holy patron, St. Joseph, we are thrilled to welcome many of you into this beautiful work.
