Philosophy

The Barbara Gordon Montessori school is dedicated to the principles of education set forth by Dr. Maria Montessori.  The foundation of Montessori education is love for the child, respect for each child as an individual, and the desire to help each child take his or her place in society.  Though the face of our campus has undergone changes, the heart of the school remains the same.  We are dedicated to the principles of Montessori and to its particular mission, as well as its unique sense of community.  Parents have always been an integral part of the school's growth and development.  Their commitment of time, energy and financial gifts to BGMS ensures the school's continued success.
