Dear parents,

Thank you for your interest in Jarrow Montessori School! Established in 1964, we are the oldest Montessori School in Colorado. Every day, Jarrow students experience an unparalleled education of the whole child. We respect individual differences, value partnership, seek cooperative approaches in our planning and problem solving, believe in hard work and aiming for one's personal best effort, and take joy in one another's success.

Research has shown that the best predictor of future success is confidence and a positive sense of self. Our carefully structured classroom environments, prepared by knowledgeable and dedicated teachers, provide self-directed, non-competitive activities that help our students to develop a strong sense of self and the confidence to face challenges and change with optimism.

Graduates of our program are unusually independent and intrinsically motivated. They have learned to work independently and in groups. Since they've been encouraged to make decisions from an early age, these children are problem solvers who can make appropriate choices and manage their time well. I am excited to offer you the opportunity to enroll your child in Jarrow for an experience that has fulfilled so many families for over forty years.

Enclosed, please find an application, information about the admissions process, our schedule/tuition rates, and a short description of the programs. Please note that there is a nonrefundable $75 application fee for each child due with your application.

The best way to find out if we are the right school for you is to see the school in action and come for a school tour. If you haven't toured already, please do so by calling the Admissions office at 303-443-0511 x113. I look forward to meeting you.

Best regards,

Barb Truan,
Head of School
