Our Lending Library, located in the school office, has many books and resources that can help answer these questions. There is no substitute for meeting with our teachers and observing a classroom, but sometimes a comprehensive overview in the form of a book can help fill in the details about Montessori education. You may also want to check out our Resources page for more links and research.

Feel free to stop by the office and sign out any of these books. We ask only that you sign them out and return them when you are done.
