Best Elementary School in Hudson, Ohio

Students in our Elementary program are divided into Lower Elementary (ages 6 to 9) and Upper Elementary (ages 9 to 12). Lower Elementary capitalizes on children’s innate inquisitiveness. The focus is not on memorizing facts but rather on understanding concepts and how to learn. Teachers serve as expert guides as children delve deeper into math, science, literature and language, and history and geography. Children also continue with explorations in Spanish, art, music and physical education.

Upper Elementary’s global curriculum expands students’ awareness of their place in society and the world. A discovery-based approach hones their research, reasoning and communication skills. Executive functioning skills such as time management, organization and setting reasonable goals are priorities.

Our Mission

The mission of Hudson Montessori School is to foster a Montessori educational environment conducive to each child’s unique qualities and abilities for the development of social, emotional and reasoning skills that are essential for a lifetime of independent, creative thinking and learning in the world community.

“This is a joyful place where children are engaged and happy. They own their learning, and they’re excited by that.”

EXPLORE

We follow the child, helping each discover what he or she loves. Then we support them as they dive into their work, letting them own their learning.

THINK

We nurture children’s natural curiosity by designing individual lesson plans. Because students participate in putting that plan together, they’re driven by their own internal motivation.

PERSIST

We honor the excitement and pride students feel when they’ve mastered something difficult—whether it’s tying their shoes or solving multi-variable equations. Then we guide them to the next challenge.

CONNECT

We believe students learn best in an environment where they’re known for who they are and appreciated for what they contribute to the community.
