Modern Montessori,Accelerated for Today's World

Elementary children are driven towards independence, gaining the skills and knowledge they need to think for themselves, understand the world, and take meaningful action in it.

Montessorium makes that possible.

Students in a modern Montessorium classroom environment

We offer rigorous academics that are completely individualized for a student's ability level, interests, and unique path. Our curriculum consists of the full suite of Montessori hands-on learning materials that support deep conceptual understanding and critical thinking, paired with the AI-powered 2 Hour Learning platform that supports repetitive practice, individual mastery, and unparalleled academic growth.

Students build a solid foundation of mathematics, grammar, science, history, and more through a combination of Montessori lessons, targeted and individualized practice, and hands-on projects and applications. They apply that foundation to areas of their own interest and excitement, going farther and faster than they thought possible.

That's Montessorium.

A bold blend of timeless Montessori and 2 Hour Learning, now at select Guidepost campuses.
