Montessori Education from the Heart
Parkside Community School is a deep-rooted, community-oriented Montessori school lovingly serving children since 1991.
Why do so many families choose Parkside?
We Emphasize More than Just Academics
At Parkside, we honor your child’s individuality and nurture their innate curiosity, growing independence, and problem solving skills. We prepare them to take on the future with confidence and kindness, propelled by the gift of self-knowledge and a passion for learning.
…but Academics are a Huge Strength
It is not uncommon at Parkside to see four-year-old children reading, six-year-old children completing long division problems, and nine-year-old children classifying botanical specimens. Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.
We’re a True Community with a Shared Goal
Parkside is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with your family as a partnership, coming together for the benefit of your child. Children thrive when home and school work in harmony, so we invite and encourage you to be part of their educational journey.
“At Parkside, the respectful way teachers treat and talk to the kids not only shapes their expectations for other relationships in their lives, it also sets them up for a positive experience of learning. There’s a balance of understanding and support as well as the benefit of being known by caring, responsive people. We may live in a big city, but Parkside creates a loving, small town feel for every member of the community.”
