Military Families
We understand the unique challenges that come along with serving in the military while raising a family. St Peter's Montessori is a Purple Star School. A Purple Star School indicates that a school is committed to supporting the unique needs of military-connected children by providing staff and programs to support students during their school transitions or deployment.

The Montessori Way Benefits Military Households
The Montessori approach to education provides a child-centered, knowledge-rich framework within structured, mixed-age classrooms. Through engaging, hands-on materials thoughtfully arranged in sequence, children experience the joy of learning. Montessori educators tailor their guidance to each child's individual needs, cultivating lifelong attributes such as self-motivation, confidence, and resilience.
St. Peter's Montessori School is a certified Association Montessori International (AMI) member school. AMI is an organization founded by Dr. Maria Montessori as stewards of the original pedagogy. As a traditional Montessori school:
- Learning and development are individualized, meeting the child where they are, and enabling a child to pick-up where they left-off at other Montessori schools more seamlessly.
- We promote self-sufficiency with a deep appreciation for the role having a sense-of-purpose plays in a child's confidence, satisfaction, and engagement.
- We foster community among our students encouraging them to collaborate and solve problems together. This instills a sense of compassion and unity among the students that develops into confidence when meeting a new friend.
Patriotic Events
More than 10% of St. Peter's Montessori School's population are military-connected students. Throughout the year St. Peter's Montessori School recognizes our military families and veterans with tribute at our annual Fall Festival, a dedicated gratitude activity, and other events. We welcome all within the community to celebrate and honor our military families!
Mentorship Program
Children who exemplify our values of community, grace, and inclusion are invited to join our mentorship program. These student mentors are trained to support new students’ transition to St. Peter's.
