Our Mission
Verna Montessori School is a child-centered non-denominational AMI school for children ages 3-14. It is administered by the Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception. The faculty offers the purity of the advanced Montessori philosophy and is strongly committed to share with the children healthy Christian values.
"The word education must not be understood in the sense of teaching but rather of assisting the psychological development of the child...the child brings us a great hope and a new vision...with his unlimited possibilities, he can well transform humanity...there is much that we teachers can do to bring humanity to a deeper understanding, to a high well-being and to a greater spirituality."
~~Dr. Maria Montessori
