For more than 50 years, Montessori Community School has been providing a premier Montessori education on Oahu.
“Our children joyfully engage with the world, building literacy, numeracy, emotional resilience and compassion, in a culture rooted in infinite respect, in an environment where they are known and guided towards independence by skilled and loving teachers. A Montessori education means possibilities,” says Head of School Jyo Bridgewater.
Learn at Your Child’s Own Pace Through Personalized Work
A child-centered educational approach, the Montessori Method is based on the research into childhood development and scientific observations of Dr. Maria Montessori. It is time-tested, with over 100 years of success in diverse cultures around the world. Classrooms are created with students’ needs in mind, with specially designed learning materials that encourage open-ended exploration of concepts. Montessori Community School’s authentic Montessori program fosters independence and enhances decision-making, critical thinking and time management skills. In every classroom, students progress at their own pace through a relevant curriculum that challenges them to think critically and to work collaboratively, developing skills for life. Our graduates report that they were not only well-prepared for the academic rigors of secondary school, but that they had the confidence to meet the challenges of higher education, careers, and family life.

A Lifelong Journey of Friendship and Community
“My happy memories of childhood are inextricably linked to my experience at Montessori Community School, and I could not be more grateful that this school is still carrying out its mission for my two children,” said a Montessori Community School alumni and current parent. Our school is a place of caring and for making lasting connections. Montessori-credentialed teachers act as guides, allowing for personalized attention and support. Another parent of two students shared, “Montessori Community School has supported our children and family in so many ways, from the amazing teachers who understand and support our children’s different learning styles, to the beautiful community of parents, faculty, and students who embraced us from the very start of our time at the school.”
Montessori Community School is a thriving community and we look forward to serving future generations of students and families.
