Faculty

Our faculty represents a diverse group of individuals from around the United States.  We recruit nationally and have high standards for faculty selection.  To achieve Montessori Certification each teacher obtains an undergraduate degree  followed by 2-6 years of additional higher degree training for each certification level.  As a school we actively promote the ongoing development of our faculty.
