Our Montessori Program
Elevating Dr. Montessori's Vision
At Near North Montessori, we know that when the desire to learn comes from within, students become lifelong learners
who have the ingenuity to form bold visions for the future and the gumption to activate them.
The NNM Approach
Emphasis on subject mastery before advancing to new work
Personalized based on every student's needs and how they learn best
Blending traditional Montessori methods with modern, real-world experiences
Prioritizing personal growth so students see the impact they have on the world
Preparing For a World that Doesn't Yet Exist
As we guide students through increasingly abstract and complex concepts, their knowledge and capabilities compound. They’re able to articulate what they’ve learned before applying it to future concepts and challenges. This ensures they develop an inherent understanding of how to solve any problem, not just the one at hand.
NNM Students Go Far
On average, each student receives 2 to 3 offers from the most competitive high schools in Chicago and 99% are accepted to one of their top choices. Empowered to expand their knowledge and abilities, NNM graduates are making their mark across a diverse range of high schools, colleges, careers and industries.
Understanding the Planes of Development
Our multi-age classrooms span three years. This structure establishes a familiar learning environment where students can progress academically, grow as individuals, and develop socially alongside their peers. This continuity creates a sense of purpose and belonging that helps students build the comfort and confidence to ask questions and take risks, skills our graduates say continue to empower them throughout their lives.
