Campus
Our school campus, located at 205 NE 50th Ave, offers convenient access to many Portland-area families. The school building includes eight large classrooms and three large studios, where our children enjoy an engaging and family friendly year round enrichment program.
A highlight for many children at our school is our large, private and tree-filled playground. Students enjoy the spacious grassy area, garden, tree house, gazebo, a boat for imaginative play, and covered area and many natural features like stumps and boulders.
To ensure that your children are safe while in our care, our school building and playground remain locked and monitored. A parking lot across the street from the building and plentiful on-street parking provide convenient parking for both staff and parents.
"I could write an essay on how my daughter joined PMS in the last year and graduated from her primary class reading chapter books and doing long addition and subtraction with multiple numbers. She’s well beyond her kindergarten peers, and my younger son's pride in his work and love of learning has grown beyond expectation."
"The outdoor play area offered at The Portland Montessori School is by far the best we saw in the city, and is a daily source of inspiration for imaginative play for our son. It is a beautiful, secluded-feeling wonderland and the children use it daily, rain or shine!"
"Our son sincerely loves his guide, who shows him authentic kindness, warmth, and non-judgmental acceptance. Under her guidance, he has become a self-directed, competent, and curious learner who cares about the world and others around him."
"Our son's vocabulary, spelling, reading and social skills have grown by leaps and bounds under the Montessori method."
"At The Portland Montessori School, our kids learn to use buttons, tie their shoes, juice an orange, crack nuts and cut bananas, clean up after themselves, identify odd and even numbers, sew, set their place at the table, pour their own milk, understand the value of numbers into the thousands, and identify continents and countries on a map—and have fun doing it all!"
