Montessori Studio - Near North Montessori School

Due to COVID, the Montessori Studio will not be running for the 2020/2021 school year. We are so grateful for the community's support of this program and hope to reopen the program once it's safer to all be together.

NNM is excited to offer our Montessori Studio at 1510 W. Division. The space and classes have been thoughtfully designed for young hands and minds to explore, engage, and discover alongside their parent/caregiver.

Program registration for the Montessori Studio is open to friends, families, and neighbors of the Near North community. These classes run in sessions, separate from our general admissions process for the school year.
