Thank you for visiting the Westshore Montessori School website. Our objective is to provide an individualized learning experience for each child. Our meticulously designed environment fosters a love for learning among children. We offer an innovative yet proven curriculum that meets all children at their developmental stage and aids in their growth into lifelong learners and responsible global citizens.
Westshore Montessori School values each child as an individual and ensures that every student has the opportunity to reach their potential through guided instruction within a safe and nurturing environment. The Montessori education method encourages children to progress at their own pace, practice independence in both social and academic contexts, build self-confidence, and develop good work habits, empowering them to become lifelong learners.
Choosing a quality Montessori program for your child is a significant decision. Many families have chosen to join the Westshore Montessori School community after discussions with current or former families whose children have attended our school. I invite you to schedule an appointment to speak further with our staff, a current or former family, or myself to learn more about our program.
Sincerely,
Diana Betts, M.Ed, Executive Director
Prepared for school — and for life.
Families often ask how children adjust after Westshore. Our students are unusually adaptable, capable problem-solvers who manage their time and transition with ease.
Independence
Montessori students make their own work choices, gather supplies, seek help when needed, and adapt easily to new environments.
Community
They collaborate, practice conflict resolution, respect others’ needs, and have their opinions valued — skills that carry into every classroom and into life.
Mastery
Children advance when ready, ask for alternative explanations, and demonstrate mastery by helping peers understand new concepts.
