ABOUT NORTH STAR MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Our History
North Star Montessori was founded in 2001 by teachers and parents interested in providing an authentic Montessori environment for children in Bartholomew County and surrounding areas.  North Star Montessori (NSM) is a not for profit, 501(c)3 corporation and is guided by a Board of Trustees.  NSM is focused on providing quality educational experiences, based on the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori and best practices of education, to children ages 6 weeks to 6 years.
Our Mission
North Star Montessori School strives to
  • provide a warm, caring community committed to the development of the whole child
  • employ an integrated approach to learning and living based on the Montessori philosophy of education and human development
  • celebrate the unique gifts and perspectives within each member of our community
  • attend equally to the education of the heart as well as the mind
  • motivate children to become confident, competent, creative life-long learners
  • promote peace
  • encourage children to live their lives as joyful contributors to society, compassionate global citizens and committed caretakers of the earth.
Our Vision
North Star Montessori provides excellent education in an environment where children effectively and independently pursue developmentally appropriate and academically fulfilling learning, in community with others. We have a diverse body of students for their places as stewards of our planet, trustees who serve our communities and leaders in our global economy. Our methodology blends Montessori methods and the best practices available in education. Our school offers beautiful indoor environments with extensions to the natural environment. We have strong infant, toddler, and kindergarten programs that are culture-rich, locally rooted, globally aware, environmentally responsible, and inclusive. Without compromising our Montessori values, we strive to meet the needs of the families in our community so that children from diverse backgrounds can fully participate in our programs. Our school nurtures students, staff, teachers, and parents physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially. We focus on what we have in common while respecting our differences to truly learn the meaning of service together. We support positive relationships among current students, graduates, and their families. Our faculty and staff love to work here. Our fully engaged and dedicated Board of Trustees govern effectively. Students will typically remain at North Star Montessori School from early childhood through Kindergarten. Our adherence to Montessori traditions in a modern context make us an inspiring example to other schools in our community.
