What makes Montessori unique? How will Guidepost support your child at each stage of development? What does a typical day look like? In this info session, we discuss the Montessori curriculum and approach, schedule options and what a typical day looks like, and how we collaborate and communicate with parents.
unparalled support for developmental milestones.
At Guidepost Montessori, we collaborate closely with parents to understand exactly where a child is on their journey, what challenges they're facing and what strengths we can capitalize on—all so we can tailor our approach to best meet each child's needs and they can reach every milestone with confidence and joy.
Above all, we take an integrated approach. We see how the 4-week-old concentrating for a few minutes on an engaging mobile can seamlessly translate to the preschooler concentrating for an hour while reading his first books, to the elementary student who concentrates for weeks while planning a research project, to the high school student concentrating for a whole school year to build a business, and we're there at every step to guide, coach, and support.
a unified curiculum for excellence.
Our Montessorium Baccalaureate curriculum spans early childhood through high school, and charts a path for academic, creative, and practical excellence.
From forming a deep, integrated understanding of the human experience and the history of civilization, to exploring the natural world and its inner workings, to using math to creatively solve real problems, our curriculum and 1:1 approach are designed to ignite curiosity, foster deep thought and empower ambitious goals.

what makes us stand out.
At Guidepost, we join with parents on their mission to help their child grow and live well. Together, we design an education to empower each child to build the knowledge, skills, and confidence she needs to craft an independent, flourishing life.

At Guidepost, our mission is to support each child in achieving her own independence. To do this, we help her gain the knowledge, build the skills, and craft the personal character she needs to flourish. Above all, our goal is to cultivate joy—in the pursuit of knowledge, in effort applied to work worth doing, in the achievements of herself and others, and in taking the steps to author her own life.

Montessori education is known world-wide for having positive impacts on both academics and social and emotional skills.
At Guidepost Montessori, when we design an environment to meet the developmental needs and interests of children alongside personalized care and support, the child can learn advanced skills at an accelerated pace.
Our students, for example, regularly learn to read by the time they’re 4-years-old and can perform all four math operations with 4-digit numbers by the end of their Kindergarten year.
The language and math skills of our kindergartners are on a par with what children in conventional programs learn in 3rd grade or beyond! What’s more, our students learn advanced academics joyfully—while simultaneously developing deep focus, self-discipline, and positive social skills.

Yes! The third year of our Children’s House program, designed for 3- to 6-year-olds, is the capstone kindergarten year. In this year, the child has been well-prepared to experience an explosion of literacy, learn advanced math concepts, and use her hard-won ability to focus, problem-solve, and persist through challenges to then make advanced gains across the curriculum. Children who continue with Guidepost through Kindergarten are often well-ahead of their peers when they enter 1st grade.

Following elementary, students continue on to our Montessori middle and high school, the Academy of Thought & Industry: a school that combines a classical liberal arts emphasis on history and great books, and a Montessori emphasis on independence and agency.

This is why we provide year-round, extended-day programming at no extra cost, enabling consistent and uninterrupted access to the care and developmental support parents expect. We invite you into your child’s world—with daily photo and video updates, regular milestone meetings, and parent-child events that showcase your child’s progress. We work to understand your unique context and needs, so that we can provide support for milestones at home as well as at school.
