    When are campus tours?
    We would love to show you around!
    From October 10 – March 6, campus tours are available every Thursday at 9AM as part of Magnet Thursday Tours, unless the campus is administering state or district assessments.
    No RSVP is required.
    When are campus observations?
    Dr. Maria Montessori believed, “The senses, being explorers of the world, open the way to knowledge.”
    We agree and invite you to experience Montessori with your senses. Once you have completed a campus tour, we will invite you to schedule a 30-minute observation of one of our classrooms to watch the Montessori work cycle in action. Please note, the observation opportunity requires VIPS visitor background clearance.
