​ADMISSIONS​

Welcome!

​

At Mater Amoris, we serve children from age 2 through grade 6, providing an authentic Montessori education utilizing nature to capture children’s innate wonder and curiosity.

​

The diverse range of families who have chosen Mater Amoris appreciate the unique experiences, holistic approach of our teachers, and the opportunities a small independent school offers. We cherish the independence, initiative, and individuality our children display each day of their educational journey with us. 

​

Our admission process offers opportunities to understand the principles and values we share with our dedicated families, experience one of our classroom environments, and explore our vibrant campus.  I encourage you to peruse our website and to reach out to start a conversation to discover if our school is a right fit for your family!

 

Sincerely,



Beryl Chafin

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Joyce | Primary parent

Mater Amoris has been a phenomenal experience for my four year old daughter. The school staff exudes warmth, kindness, professionalism and dedication. It is a school that promotes creativity, independence, and both intellectual and emotional growth. My daughter is excited to go to school everyday!

Sarah | Elementary parent

A community that is honest and dependable; I’m so grateful to have a school that has taken extra steps to not only reinvent the idea of school but do it in a way that keeps even the most cautious parents comfortable.

Carrie and Todd | Alum parents

We were welcomed and encouraged to participate in activities, sports, and experiences that reinforce the true nature of the Montessori philosophy.  Our children have flourished in an environment with experienced teachers who teach to the whole child. Our daughter and son have become independent, confident, and creative thinkers.
