Jarrow Montessori. Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Welcome to Jarrow -Colorado’s First Montessori School

 

Since 1964, Jarrow students, staff and parents have worked together to build and protect a joyous and respectful school community. Because our lessons are compelling, relevant and inspiring, our students are motivated and engaged. They work both independently and in collaboration with one another toward meaningful academic and social pursuits.

Here at Jarrow, character is honed, confidence grows and generosity is extended toward self and others. Our school’s mission and practices are based on Dr. Montessori’s extraordinary vision of Education for Peace.
