Princeton Montessori School

Montessori Elementary Program • Grades 1 - 5Our Montessori Elementary programs offer community-based learning environments based on kindness and respect, and support the emerging student as they enter a new developmental phase filled with wonder, interest, and active enthusiasm. We balance strong academics while nurturing natural curiosity and students' sense of well-being.IB Middle School Program • Grades 6 - 8Our Middle School is powered by the globally recognized&nbsp;International Baccalaureate® (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP).&nbsp;We strive to empower students to become original thinkers, confident communicators, and compassionate leaders in a complex world. Our graduates enter high school as confident, responsible, and well-rounded young adults.What Makes&nbsp;Princeton Montessori's Middle School Stand Out? IB-Aligned Approach Our Middle School uniquely blends the values of Montessori education with the rigor and relevance of the IB Middle Years Programme. Students are encouraged to make real-world connections, explore global issues, and grow into compassionate, confident learners.
Inquiry-Based Learning in Action During the Open House, you’ll see firsthand how our students engage with interdisciplinary themes, take ownership of their learning, and develop as critical thinkers and ethical leaders.
Welcoming Environment Spend time in the classroom, hear from our passionate teachers, and speak with current parents and students about what the IB experience means to them.
This is more than an open house - it’s a window into how we prepare students for high school, college, and life.
