Montessori Research
Scientific research has shown the benefits of the Montessori Method on children's long-term learning and success as children, teenagers & adults.
The Orcas Montessori School is a preschool serving children ages 2 & 1/2 to 6 years. It is located at ll47 North Beach Road. There is also a Montessori program in the Orcas Island Public School that serves children in grades 1-3. This public
school program was founded by parents who were delighted with the education their children had received at our Orcas Montessori School and who wished to keep their children in a Montessori program as they transitioned to grade school. The public school program is sometimes known as OMPS or Public School Montessori.
