Mission Viejo Montessori is a Fine Arts Montessori school for children Infant through
Elementary. We feature an excellent Fine Arts program in addition to our high academic standards
that provides experiences that enable students to acquire a foundation of skills for lifelong
achievement. We use manipulative materials, have small classes and use a multicultural curriculum.
During our school hours, our classrooms focus on developing and strengthening math, reading, and
writing skills. We also explore geometry, environmental studies, language arts, grammar, physical
sciences, cultural & physical geography. In addition to our highly trained Montessori teachers, we
also have teaching specialists who teach Music & Movement, Drama, Spanish, Computers. These
classes are all included in our regular program and every child attends them. There are no extra
fees to attend these classes. The Elementary class also has PE classes. We also incorporate music
and drama into our school curriculum through plays, puppetry and musical and dramatic shows. The
students also study the practical arts including gardening, scrapbooking, cooking and sewing.
Mission Viejo Montessori School is committed to the development of every child’s full potential.
Studies have shown that the arts enhance academic learning, especially reading. For over 100 years
Montessori children have learned to read quickly using hands-on phonics. Our math curriculum is
outstanding and progressive. We provide children with a dynamic, challenging curriculum and end up
with children who love learning, are curious and can think independently AND interdependently!
Our vision is to provide a quality educational alternative for children from Infants through
Elementary, in a stimulating learning environment provided by caring, enthusiastic teachers, staff
and parents. The highlights of our program are the interactive relationship between teacher and
child and our strong fine arts program. Our teachers are specially trained and highly dedicated
individuals chosen for their loving, respectful attitudes toward children and their comprehensive
knowledge of Montessori education, early childhood education and elementary education. We also
work closely with parents, as they are the first and most important educators of their child.
Our infant program begins preferably at 3 months, although we will sometimes accept children as
young as 6 weeks, in a warm and caring environment. We keep the ratio very low in this room to
assure the best care we can give. Our Toddler program begins with children as young as 18 months.
We recognize toddlers as individuals with unique personalities and abilities. The combination of
quality care and loving attention in our prepared environment encourages the natural rhythm of
learning and development. The Toddler program also includes music, art, drama, and Spanish classes.
Our Preschool & Pre-K programs further enrich children’s lives by providing a multitude of
specially designed, developmentally appropriate activities for students. Favorable teacher-child
ratios, small groups and a variety of learning materials give children exciting opportunities for
exploration, stimulating their curiosity and motivating them to learn. The preschool program also
includes computer instruction, music, art, drama, and Spanish classes.
We are proud to also offer an Elementary program that continues through sixth grade. Our class
plan stresses the Montessori method of elementary education, high academic standards surpassing
local GATE programs, and an expansive horizon of advanced studies in cultural areas such as art,
music, geography, and social studies. These grade levels also include computers, music, art, drama,
and Spanish. They also have physical education classes. With our focus on small classes &
individualized attention, we are committed to the success of our students. The achievement tests
scores of Montessori students usually increase the longer they attend a Montessori school. By
early elementary they are a year or more above the national testing norms.
Mission Viejo Montessori School welcomes all children without regard to race, religion, color or
creed. We reserve the right to explore traditional, multicultural, and religious holidays, including
songs, plays and festivals.
