Discover The NNM Experience

Finding Joy in Learning

We recognize that every child is naturally curious, so we curate opportunities for students to question, explore, and innovate based on their own needs and interests- helping them unlock the joy and drive to learn independently.

More Than Academic Rigor

We go beyond academic rigor, which challenges the mind, to embrace academic vigor, engaging curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Every student receives a personalized education based on their developmental needs and how they learn best.

Innovating for a Changing World

We elevate Dr. Montessori's bold vision for what an education should be. In the heart of Wicker Park, we blend traditional Montessori methods with modern, real-world experiences.
