About Corvallis Montessori

Over fifty years of nurturing young minds

Our Story

Founded by parents, sustained by community

Founded in 1967 by a passionate group of local parents, Corvallis Montessori School has been a cherished part of the beautiful Willamette Valley for more than half a century. Our community has grown, but our heart remains exactly the same.

Our Educational Approach

Guided by love, grounded in excellence

As a school recognized by the Association Montessori International (AMI), we joyfully uphold the highest standards of Dr. Montessori’s vision. We look at the whole child—nurturing not just their academic mind, but their emotional, social, and physical self.

Through carefully prepared activities in Language, Mathematics, Science, and the Arts, we spark a natural curiosity that lasts a lifetime. From the gentle rhythms of our Toddler communities to the vibrant discovery happening in our Primary classrooms, your child will find a home away from home designed precisely for their developmental needs.

We invite your family to become a part of our story.
