Children’s Kiva Montessori Charter School

The Children’s Kiva Montessori Charter School was established in 2014 and currently serves approximately 140 students from Kindergarten to 8th grade. Our school combines National and State Academic Content Standards with a Montessori educational approach, integrating community projects, expeditionary learning, and STREAM curriculum enrichment. We aim to address the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual needs of every student in close collaboration with families and the community. Through multi-age classrooms, students engage in diverse academic levels and subjects, fostering independence and self-discipline through independent or group work. Our school provides an unconventional educational choice that emphasizes personal accountability, self-driven learning, high standards, and a global outlook.
