Using student-directed academics and hands-on experiences, our students have a sense of responsibility for their own education, and develop a lifelong love of learning.

 Our Programs

We affectionately refer to our classrooms as β€œstudios,” because they are specially prepared spaces for our students to work, learn, and create.

Spark Studio

The Spark Studio is an authentic Montessori Primary environmentβ€”a wholesome space where children explore carefully prepared materials, allowing their own curiosity to be the spark that ignites learning. The Spark Studio is a program for children ages 3-5, with half-day and full-day options.

Pre K - Kindergarten


Discovery Studio

Children in our Acton Discovery Studio begin to take more responsibility for their progress as they set and follow-through with learning goals. They tackle real-world problems through Project-based Learning β€œQuests.” Most importantly, they develop leadership skills by taking ownership of their learning community.
