Overview

Thank you for your interest in San Tan Montessori School. We are a school for the 3-12 year old, with free tuition for elementary age students (Kindergarten - 6th) due to our charter school status. At San Tan Montessori School you will find:

• A safe nurturing environment for your child
• A small private school in the beautiful South-East Valley
• Highly qualified Administrators and Teachers with Montessori training and credentials
• Full set of Montessori materials and AMI (American Montessori International) Spirit
• Many opportunities for Significant Learning Extensions for children and parents.

We understand the child and the excitement of childhood learning. A natural curiosity and love of knowledge, which manifests sensitive periods for learning a particular activity or skill, motivates the young child from within. The Montessori classroom is a Prepared Environment that invites the child during these sensitive periods of development with appropriate materials and professional Teaching Staff.

The Montessori Teacher is an especially qualified person having intensive training in observation of children and use of materials to be able to truly “Follow the Child” as Dr. Montessori challenged us 100 years ago. Through her skilled observation of the child’s sensitive periods and knowledge of the child’s plane of development she is able to guide the child and anticipate the child’s needs in order to keep the child on their cutting edge in their quest for knowledge.

Mission Statement

San Tan Montessori, as a school community, will strive for excellence in Montessori education by providing a clean, structured, safe environment, which will foster the curiosity, creativity, and imagination born within us all.

Educationally Yours,

Kristofer Sippel	Rita Sippel
