La Villa rightly prides itself in offering a very authentic presentation of the Montessori method, and for many families that is a primary draw. As such, students are engaged in an active, hands-on, cooperative environment, where the core curriculum is delivered in consort with a growing understanding of their place in the community of the school and beyond. Close attention is given to the acquisition of skills as well as interpersonal, physical, and emotional development.

My child's experience has been better than I ever could have imagined. Even if we have had a bad morning at home, she glows the minute we pull into the parking lot. Her teachers have instilled such confidence and motivation in her. She comes home with daily reports of new things she has tried, new friends she has worked with and new demonstrations she has enjoyed. I am constantly impressed by what she can do.
