From the Director of Advancement and Admissions

Picture
Researching and applying to a school shouldn't be a stressful situation. I am here to answer questions, meet you and your children, and make the process relatively simple. 

As Alcuin’s Director of Advancement, I love working with prospective families, having them come visit us and discover what a quality Montessori program looks like.  With programs for children ages 6 weeks to 14 years, I welcome you to come see what has made us a Montessori tradition for over 60 years.

The easiest way to get to know more about Alcuin is start by taking a virtual tour.  Afterward, please contact me with specific questions and we'll go from there.  Hablo español.

​​Alcuin Montessori promotes tolerance and acceptance throughout our school and provides a safe space as a support network for all. We will create an environment in which it is safe for people to express themselves and their individuality without consequence or judgment.  We hope to both educate and cultivate an attitude towards others marked by a generosity of spirit and acceptance, and welcome all students and families to our community.
