Montessori Enrollment

You might not be thinking of the NEXT school year, but Dixon Montessori at 355 North Almond is already making plans. Their open enrollment is from Jan. 11 to Feb. 4 for the 2022-2023 school year.

In the tradition of Maria Montessori, the school offers a pleasant and nurturing environment in which children learn at their own pace pursuing those things that interest them most. The teachers lead children to ask questions, think for themselves, explore, investigate and discover. Students learn in multi-age classes in which the younger children spontaneously learn from the older children. Visit the school office between those dates above and complete paperwork to enter their enrollment lottery or call (707) 678-8953 for more information.
