Our mission
Pocatello Valley Montessori School seeks to guide children from 18 months and beyond to become self-confident, independent and to find where they fit in their community and the world as a whole.
We foster this by instilling in our students a love of learning, modeling appropriate social and emotional behavior, and giving them the tools to explore the world around them in their own unique way.

What Is Montessori?
"Montessori education is student-led and self-paced but guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable and caring teachers, the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.
​
Within the community of a multi-age classroom—designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability—children embrace multi-sensory learning and passionate inquiry. Individual students follow their own curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized learning goals.
​
Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. They think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity. What better outcome could you wish for your children?" - AMS
