Chesterfield Montessori School offers an authentic Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) recognized program for toddlers through adolescents. Students learn in peaceful, mixed-age classrooms equipped with the full range of hands-on Montessori materials, which interconnect all disciplines and provide stimulating challenges that meet the cognitive, emotional, and social needs of each child.
