Monte Vista Montessori School
(Pre-K through 8)
The idea behind our Montessori school is simple. Your children are naturally curious and want to learn. Our job as educators is to provide a safe, loving environment where they can grow into curious and kind independent thinkers.
Montessori Education Works Because
- The focus is on cultivating your child’s natural love of learning
- Through hands-on, self-paced, joyful learning
- Where teachers work one-on-one with students or in small groups
- In a no-stress environment
- With no grades, no tests, and no homework.
Students Succeed Later in Life Because They Love Learning
- Students are challenged to take ownership of the their learning and allowed to follow their passions.
- Fascinated by maps? Want to spend hours drawing a giant one? Sure!
- Want to sit and read an entire book for a day? That works because you’re excited about reading!
- The Montessori system is flexible enough to allow your child to follow his or her educational passions.
Thomas Curran, Now an A-student at St. Mary’s Hall
“I attended Montessori School for twelve years and flourished in the environment. In high school, I’ve seen my curiosity and attitude towards learning contrast greatly with those who didn’t receive a Montessori education, and I owe it to the capable, hardworking teachers and nurturing environment of MVM. My teachers encouraged me to do what I wanted, to pursue my own interests, and this made me want to learn. My Montessori education allowed me to be myself and to start discovering who that is.”
Justin Rodriguez, Texas State Representative
“Last week, the 85th Texas Legislative Session convened and I was sworn in for my third term as your State Representative from House District 125!”
Michaela Vail, Now at STEM Academy
“I’m in an advanced STEM program and I find it really easy because of the foundation provided me by my time at Monte Vista Montessori.”

“Teaching is a beautiful thing, teaching Montessori is even better. It’s amazing to learn things from a child’s mind.
