Our Outstanding Staff

The New School Montessori's highly credentialed, professional staff combines many years of teaching experience. The ISACS/AMS accreditation report commended the faculty for "creativity, expertise, devotion and collegial work."

Our teachers and administrators are encouraged and supported financially in taking advantage of professional development opportunities. They routinely attend and give presentations at local and national Montessori conferences and meetings as well as teach in in adult education programs. As a partner with Xavier University, The New School Montessori provides internship experiences for teachers seeking Montessori certification. Each year we open our classrooms to teacher-obserservers from all over the world.

Teachers and administrators are also actively involved in supporting independent school organizations by serving on boards, supporting accrediting team initiatives and offering consultation services.
