Offers primary, elementary, and adolescent programs
Your child benefits from the continuity of educational approach and intimate community. One teacher typically spends three or more years with a child, becoming keenly tuned in to their unique personality. Multi-age classrooms stimulate social and intellectual groups and a profound sense of belonging.

Located in University Circle
During the elementary and middle school years, children explore and learn during visits to world-class museums and institutions. The neighborhood of Little Italy is filled with rich discoveries for children, from art galleries to bakeries. Find out more about our school.

"We shall walk together on this path of life, for all things are part of the universe, and are connected with each other to form one whole unity." Maria Montessori

Outcomes for Students in a Montessori Program
A Longitudinal Study of the Experience in the Milwaukee Public Schools

"This study supports the hypothesis that Montessori education has a positive long-term impact. Additionally, it provides an affirmative answer to questions about whether Montessori students will be successful in traditional schools."

"A significant finding in this study is the association between a Montessori education and superior performance on the Math and Science scales of the ACT and WKCE. In essence, attending a Montessori program from the approximate ages of three to eleven predicts significantly higher mathematics and science standardized test scores in high school."

AMI /USA School Recognition
While the name "Montessori" may be used by any school, the educational standards, teacher training and materials may vary widely.  Dr. Montessori began Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) to insure high standards in Montessori schools.
Teachers at the Montessori School at Holy Rosary are professionals, with college degrees as well as Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) training.  AMI was founded by Maria Montessori to ensure the integrity of her philosophy.  The training is rigorous with standards set according to Dr. Montessori's design.  Each classroom must be equipped with special materials and be well maintained.  Our AMI Certificate of Recognition confirms our support of Montessori principles faithfully put into practice.

"The real preparation for education is the study of one's self."  M. Montessori
