Welcome to Our School!

Bloomington Montessori School has offered Montessori preschool and Montessori elementary for children ages 3-12 (preschool through sixth grade) in Bloomington, Indiana since 1968. We are fully accredited by the American Montessori Society and are Validated by the United Montessori Schools of Indiana. Each classroom is supported by a team of teachers led by a credentialed Montessori Lead.

Multi-age classrooms encourage shared learning, independent growth and mutual respect. Our teachers guide students through a high-fidelity, multi-sensory Montessori curriculum in child-centered learning environments where children grow and thrive. Children engage their interests and explore the full range of subjects through activities and lessons appropriate to their ages and abilities, working at their own paces and acquiring fundamental skills to become articulate, confident learners.
