Give Your Child More Than a School — Give Them a Lifelong Love of Learning
At Salem Montessori School, your child isn’t just taught — they are seen, respected, and guided to reach their fullest potential in a nurturing, authentic Montessori environment.
The Challenge You Face as a parent
Every parent wants their child to thrive. But traditional schools often:
Limit curiosity with rigid schedules and worksheets
Treat every child the same, instead of honoring their uniqueness
Create stress, frustration, and disengagement
You deserve a school where your child’s natural spark isn’t dulled — it’s ignited.
For Over 30 Years, Salem Montessori School Has Partnered With Parents Like You
From a one-room schoolhouse to a thriving 7-acre campus, Salem Montessori School has been guiding children from infancy through middle school with authentic Montessori education.
A Campus Designed For Discovery
Set on seven beautiful acres with forest, gardens, and open green space, Salem Montessori School offers children the freedom to explore, play, and learn in nature every day. Our classrooms extend beyond four walls—students build curiosity, confidence, and care for the world around them.
A Warm, Connected Community
Families don’t just join a school, they join a community. Parents often say Salem Montessori School feels like a second home, where teachers know each child deeply and families form lifelong friendships rooted in shared values.
Certified & Trained Montessori Teachers
Every guide is formally trained and accredited, ensuring your child receives true Montessori, not just “Montessori-inspired” care.
"What more can a parent ask for?"
"When I get my 8-month-old out of the car and he sees the school, he smiles and claps. He can’t wait to get inside. What more could a parent ask for?"
