"It’s heartwarming to know our child feels confident and secure at school.  We love that she has been introduced to music and Spanish at a young age.  Her teachers are incredible. The teachers love and support reaches beyond the classroom to parents and family.  I might not have survived toilet training without their support! There are many uncertainties in parenting, but I’m certain Jarrow Montessori is the best decision we’ve made for our daughter!" - Jarrow Toddler Parent

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.

You might be here at Jarrow for a reason fairly obvious and clear, but I expect not only one. It was probably a number of forces at work that first inspired you to place your faith in Montessori.

With One Voice

Recently, we have hosted a number of visitors at Jarrow, who’ve joined us both for special events and as prospective parents coming to tour. Again and again, there are comments about the stunning nature of our campus. And often those comments transcend the visual. Not only the grace of our classrooms, the architecture of our buildings and our splendid grounds inspire our guests, it’s the way it feels in our school. In his poem Andrea del Sarto, Robert Browning coined the phrase “Less is More” in 1855. German architect Ludwig Mies van dear Rose used it as a catchphrase in his work explaining [Read More…]
