Summers are fun and educational at Montessori Island School.

The Toddler Program remains mostly the same in the summer, but the preschool, kindergarten and first grade kids take this time to have even more fun than the rest of the year. The summer program provides the young minds of our students with a balance of academic adventure and recreation, fresh air and fun, plus new experiences and understanding of subjects they have not explored before.

We take an interest in a few specific subjects and do extended group projects around these themes and ideas. Field trips become more frequent and longer, with weekly trips whenever possible to interesting places, sometimes relating to topics of study, and many times including a picnic stop at one of the local parks and supervised beaches.

We increase our efforts to have "guest visitors" come to school to give presentations in fun and entertaining ways. Sprinkler and water days are held at least a couple of times a week, and sometimes siblings, former students or children from the community join us when appropriate, assisting as "camp counselors" and participating in the fun.

Because families need flexibility in the summer months, weekly or monthly tuition schedules are available with prior registration. Call the Director or office staff for more info.
