The Montessori School of Wooster is a not-for-profit educational institution dedicated to Montessori education from toddler through secondary levels. The non-profit company is based in Wooster, OH. The school offers programs including toddler, preschool and kindergarten (Children's House), elementary, middle school, and a high school program starting in 2026. Its curriculum aligns with academic standards and integrates language arts, mathematics, science, Spanish, art, music, peace education, physical education, and environmental studies. The school emphasizes individualized learning, multi-age classrooms, and student-led work plans, nurturing intrinsic motivation through purpose, passion, and play rather than traditional grading. The peace curriculum promotes social skills such as communication and conflict resolution, and the certified wild naturalist program along with the adjacent Melissa Schultz Nature Preserve provide hands-on environmental education. The school supports families through tuition assistance and offers resources such as forms, handbooks, newsletters, and a business and service directory. Community involvement is encouraged through volunteering, donations, and events.
