We offer Education for Life.
Academic excellence starts with ​a love of learning. 

In Alcuin Montessori School's safe environment, children, ages 6 week to 14 years, gain the confidence they need to realize their full potential.  ​

At Alcuin, children learn at their own pace, immersing in subjects and activities designed to develop much more than academic skills. They develop a love of learning that prepares them to excel in the next level of education and beyond.  It's no surprise that a large percentage of our graduates take honors and advanced placement courses in high school.  Learn more >> ​
Our daughter has been attending the Roosevelt Campus toddler program since the fall. She has become so confident and independent since she started at Alcuin. We are so happy with her progress and highly recommend the program to other parents!" - An Alcuin Parent.
Our son is a high school senior and his Alcuin experience was paramount in preparing him for high school. He has great relationships with his teachers, has all honors and AP classes, holds a 4.57 GPA out of 4.00, is part of the National Honor Society, and is looking at various Ivy League schools for next year."  - An Alcuin Alumni parent

Your child is more than a student to us.

Alcuin Montessori's carefully prepared learning environment and approach are designed to support your child’s academic, emotional and social development. Small class sizes, unique Montessori training, and close collaboration with parents allow our faculty to see your child as an individual—and adapt instruction to her or his learning style and talents. Learn More>>
We thank Alcuin's Middle School program for preparing our child to excel at both the academics and time-management skills required in high school, but it's really her sense of urgency and purpose that gives us the greatest peace and pride in watching her slay the dragons and joyfully conquer the challenges of high school.” - An Alcuin alumni parent

 Here, children learn, lead, and collaborate.

​Alcuin's highly skilled and experienced Montessori-trained teachers follow a proven methodology
that centers on observation to learn about and teach to your child's strengths and style. In our
multi-age classrooms, younger children also learn from their older peers, who reinforce their own
knowledge, build confidence, and develop leadership skills by teaching others. Learn more >> ​
 So far, she's rocking straight A's and a fantastic work-life balance. Thanks to years of multi-age classrooms, she's skipped over the awkwardness and insecurities so many freshman girls experience and has developed a well-rounded group of friends that includes sophomores and juniors.”  ​- An Alcuin alumni parent

This is Education for Life. 

Alcuin-educated children are confident, compassionate, and respectful of others. They are self-aware and disciplined, comfortable in conversations with adults and highly competent in academics. The vast majority move on to success in the next stops on their educational journey and ultimately in their careers and personal lives. They have learned how to learn. Learn More>>
Alcuin equipped me with all the tools I needed to succeed in high school. I am in the middle of studying for arduous IB exams, working on my valedictorian speech for my graduation, and dancing five days a week to prepare for my upcoming show! And next fall, I will be attending Barnard College, my first choice!” ​- An Alcuin alumnus

Seeing is believing.

Alcuin Montessori is a safe, calm and ordered refuge that provides the ideal learning environment in an increasingly chaotic, fast-moving, filled-with-dangers-and-distractions world. But words cannot adequately describe this environment. It must be experienced to be understood.
