Welcome to

Harbor Montessori School

Harbor Montessori School is dedicated to nurturing the whole child
through intentional academic guidance, purposeful learning environments,
and peace minded community support.

Harbor Montessori School offers a truly unique educational experience for children from Infant through ninth grade (ages 8 weeks to 15 years).
This small school, founded in 1981, is located in the quaint community of Gig Harbor, Washington, a small city with a rich maritime heritage. We are a fully accredited school through the American Montessori Society and pride ourselves on small class sizes with individualized lessons. We invite you to take a look around our website and get to know our unique programs and highly qualified staff.

"The needs of (hu)mankind are universal. Our means of meeting them create the richness and diversity of the planet. The Montessori child should come to relish the texture of that diversity."

-Maria Montessori
