MFS IS OPEN FOR OUTDOOR, IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION!
Montessori pedagogy has not only existed in global crises, it has been refined over several decades against the backdrop of massive challenges: World War I and the 1918 Flu Pandemic, the Great Depression, World War II, and into modern day. Dr. Montessori recognized that the only path into the future is through the proper education of children and to teach children for the times in which they live. Against the backdrop of COVID-19, Montessori Family School carries on the important work of preparing children.
