Montessorium's Three Commitments

Love School

Montessorium students love school—it's engaging, inspiring, and built for them.

Learn 2×

With the 2 Hour Learning platform and the Montessori curriculum, students crush academics and consistently score in the top 1% nationwide.

Develop Independence

Students plan their work, manage their progress, and explore personal interests — with expert guidance, not micromanagement.

Built forIndependent Thinkers

Montessorium is an elementary school environment designed for agency. We believe children don't just need instruction — they need purpose. Our classrooms give them both.

Every student sets goals, chooses meaningful work, and reflects on their growth — all within a nurturing, structured environment. Independence isn't a motto here. It's a habit they practice every day.

A Day at Montessorium

Each day blends structure and independence — structured skill-building, conceptual lessons that push students to go further, and time for independent exploration and interests.

The school day begins with a student-led morning meeting

During the open-ended work period in a Montessori classroom, students freely choose their work and accomplish their tasks in a self-directed manner. They transition from small group lessons with Guides, to independent work, to academic practice on the 2 Hour Learning platform.

The 2 Hour Learning platform ensures that students build fluency in reading, grammar, and math, and results in 2x faster academic growth and top-tier test results. Montessori lessons ensure that students reach deep conceptual understanding, practice critical thinking, and engage in collaborative work.

And all of it is student-centered: students plan their own days, set their own goals, and reflect on their progress, supported and enabled by systems and structures that are both physical and digital.

Lunch and recess

In the afternoon work period, students complete their daily work, including any remaining 2 Hour Learning platform lessons.

They also join a range of classroom activities: like literature circles, where small groups analyze and discuss a chapter book; or history lessons, focused on the Heroes of History; and hands-on science labs that make connections across disciplines.

And they have time to focus on independent interests. Whether writing a play, contributing to a classroom newsletter, creating products for an upcoming market, or planning a trip, Montessorium students make things happen.

Proven Results from 2 Hour Learning Classrooms

At peer schools using the same 2 Hour Learning model, every class has scored in the 99th percentile nationally in math, reading, and language usage on the MAP Growth test. These are not selected students. These are full-class results — showing what's possible when kids have the right tools and structure.

Montessorium is built on the same model — with the same potential.
