Hudson Valley Montessori School is a micro-school with a close knit community.
We base our relationships with children and their families upon trust, mutual respect and open communication. We are an inclusive community and model responsibility for self and others. Thoughtful conduct and the development of independence are at the forefront of classroom activities.
Our families love the 4 day a week model. This schedule allows staff, students and families more time to pursue their happiness outside of the classroom, closer to year-round.
