Thank you for taking the time to explore Near North Montessori as an option for your child’s education. NNM is one of the largest and oldest private Montessori schools in the country. With a rich tradition of commitment to a quality Montessori education for children ages 6 months to 8th grade, NNM promotes a culture of high academic standards, strong moral and ethical values and a passion for learning and self-fulfillment.
Near North Montessori prepares your child for life. While we do not know the challenges each child faces in the future, we know that to lead a successful and fulfilling life, they will need to be resilient, confident in their abilities, creative and innovative problem solvers and articulate communicators with strong thinking skills. All of these characteristics for success are evident in our Montessori philosophy and school culture.
Our world of today and tomorrow is becoming more and more diverse. Our commitment to diversity promotes an environment of respect based on equity and inclusion where students become allies for each other while developing awareness of social and global justice issues.

Spend time on our site to explore the Montessori philosophy, culture and programs but remember that seeing is believing, so be sure to reserve a space at one of our upcoming Coffees to tour the school and meet with our parents and students.
We look forward to your visit and hope that like many of our parents, you too will “Come for Coffee and Stay for 12 Years.”
