About Rock Prairie Montessori School
Rock Prairie Montessori is a non-profit school that began in September 1994 through the efforts of several parents seeking an alternative education for their children.
Rock Prairie Montessori’s program purpose is to operate a child centered school for children in accordance with the Montessori method to encourage the development of every child to his or her maximum potential and to aid parents/guardians in the education of the child by involving them in the school.
The day-to-day operations of the school are managed by the Head of School. The school is governed by a board of trustees consisting of parents, community members, and the Head of School. Parents also serve on various committees to assist with the planning of social events and fundraisers. Children and their families from throughout southern Wisconsin, as well as teachers and staff, comprise the Rock Prairie Montessori community.
Rock Prairie Montessori offers Parent & Infant Classes (held 1x monthly), Young Child Classes for ages 2 to 3 years, Children’s House classes for ages 3 to 6, and an Elementary program for ages 6 through 12. Before- and after-school care is also available, as well as music and foreign language lessons and summer enrichment programs.
Rock Prairie Montessori is affiliated with the American Montessori Society and our teachers are all certified Montessori instructors.
