Description of Rogers Park Montessori School

Rogers Park Montessori School is a non-profit (501) c3, non-sectarian, educational organization.  It is a coeducational, day school for children ages two to fourteen (8th grade).  In addition to academic classes, daycare is available from ages three to fourteen.

We are a community of families and educators guided by the philosophy of Maria Montessori and the standards set forth by the American Montessori Society (AMS), under recognition of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE).  The school emphasizes the education of the whole child starting from infancy.

Our mission is to create an environment and curriculum that values children's ability to reach their highest potential academically and to develop the skills necessary to advance peaceful resolutions to issues which arise at school and in the greater community.   Our aspiration is to reach children by fostering their innate curiosity and love of learning. Through participation in the school community, children develop a strong sense of self and an understanding of their connection to the environment and larger world.

The school's commitment to the delivery of quality Montessori practices in a mixed age-group setting, high academic standards and employing a highly skilled teaching staff has earned us a strong reputation in Chicago among public and other independent schools.
