Our Mission
As a Montessori learning community, we inspire life-long learning and a peaceful world by nurturing the natural development of the whole child.
Why Santa Cruz Montessori
Santa Cruz Montessori School provides lifelong benefits for its students; giving your child an SCM education is the most important investment you can make in his or her future. Children gain strong academic skills and become self-motivated, caring individuals who make positive contributions to the community.
