About the Provider

Montessori Explorer, the number one Montessori school in the South Bay area in San Diego. The school is dedicated to the social and physical development of young children. Montessori Explorer utilizes the renowned Montessori Method to educate children; thereby, enhancing each child’s social skills while focusing on his or her development. The school's main goal is to foster the whole child to their full potential.

Montessori Explorer celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2012 that coincides with the celebration of the first anniversary of opening its lower elementary program. Montessori Explorer is the first Montessori school to have an elementary program in the South Bay area serving Chula Vista, Bonita, Eastlake, San Diego, National City, Spring Valley, Santee area and Tijuana.

The core principle Montessori Explorer follows is the most central to the Montessori philosophy. That is allowing each child to develop at his or her own individual pace. The 'miracle' stories of Montessori children far ahead of traditional expectations for their age level reflect not artificial acceleration but the possibilities open when children are allowed to learn at their own pace in a scientifically prepared environment.

Montessori Explorer prides itself for having some of the finest and experienced Montessori Credentialed teachers and to offer small class sizes that promotes social and emotional growth. Our teacher student ratios are so low you will not find another school to match Montessori Explorer. Our ratios does not take in to account the interns we mentor each year. The academics are far beyond any other school in the South Bay area. See the parent testimonials and visit the school to watch the skills of children.

Through the past ten years Montessori Explorer has produced young competent learner whose abilities have far surpassed the conventional public school education. Children are given the tools to excel themselves in a carefully prepared environment in areas such as Math, Language, Sensorial, Practical Life, Geography, History, Zoology and Botany. The knowledge of each subject exceeds what young adults know in some of the upper elementary levels.
