Faculty &
Staff

At School in the Woods Montessori, our team of talented and dedicated educators have intellectual and emotional intelligence, traits we believe are key for guiding young children’s foundational learning experiences and, eventually, their success in life. Each member of our experienced faculty is trained by an accredited Montessori training program and is credentialed by either the American Montessori Society, the Association Montessori International, or another MACTE accredited program. We also serve as a host school to those who are completing their Montessori internships. All teachers are committed to enhancing their professional development through conferences, workshops, classes, and special events.
