Looking for a tuition-free Montessori Elementary School for your child?
A group of parents, educators, and community members are in the process of applying for charter school status within the Portland Public School system for The Ivy School, a 1st – 8th grade Montessori elementary school.
The school will be located in NE Portland, providing an educational opportunity previously unavailable in a Portland public school. The school is proposed to open in September 2008 with 60 1st-3rd graders. It will grow to a total enrollment of 240 students in 1st-8th grade.
Montessori schools have a 100-year old tradition of bringing world-class education to children by allowing them to make their own educational choices in a thoughtfully prepared classroom environment. Students study math, language, physical education, science, art, gardening, and community and peace education. The Ivy School will also have a bilingual element (Spanish) in every classroom. Montessori classrooms are multi-age, allowing all students the natural opportunity to become mentors and leaders.
Come help make a difference in the education of our children and the Portland community by coming to a public support and informational meeting to be held on Tuesday, June 5th at 7pm at Augustana Lutheran Church – 2710 NE 14th Avenue. Childcare will be provided.
