ABOUT CATSKILL MONTESSORI SCHOOL
Catskill Montessori School is a private, non-profit school inspired by permaculture ethics of people care, earth care, and fair share on 63 acres nestled between the Mahicannituck and the Catskill Mountains. Our school opened its doors in the fall of 2020 with one early childhood 3-6 class and one 6-9 elementary class in a restored 1750s barn, along with a budding permaculture farm. We now serve toddlers through 4th grade with the blueprint to immediately expand the Upper Elementary and then expand to include a Secondary program (12-18) as our students rise each year.

Our school community seeks to help each child build the adult of their future and engender respect for the differences of others doing the same. Part of this includes developing an appreciation for and building a community with those of different spiritual beliefs, cultural heritages, racial and gender identities, economic backgrounds, and other affiliations. The land surrounding and supporting the school also inspires and informs our work as we guide the children on a journey to become global citizens and stewards of this land and our planet.

In our fifth year (2024 - 2025) and meeting enthusiastic demand in our community, we are seeking staff members to grow with us!

Catskill is equidistant from Boston and New York City (about two hours), with easy access to both. With many quaint towns nearby, including Hudson with Amtrak service to NYC, Catskill offers the charm, culture, and environment of the Hudson Valley.
