Our Mission

Santa Cruz Montessori Tree Logo

As a Montessori learning community, we inspire life-long learning and a peaceful world by nurturing the natural development of the whole child.

About Us

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.

Why SCM

Santa Cruz Montessori Warmly Invites You to a Virtual Tour

For families interested in learning more about our community, please sign up for a virtual tour!  

You will experience a one-on-one discussion with our Enrollment Director, Kathy Rideout, while viewing a photo presentation of our Montessori environments. She can answer your questions about the Montessori philosophy, our teacher qualifications, student to teacher ratios, schedules and special programs.

Kathy will guide you through the tour with lots of time for discussion and questions. Find out what makes our community so special!
