Mission: Great River School, a Montessori learning community, prepares students for their unique roles as responsible and engaged citizens of the world.

Vision: World peace through Montessori education.

Background: Great River School integrates academic and social experiences in an environment of civility and trust. The Montessori philosophy informs the International Baccalaureate diploma program and guides the curriculum and pedagogy. Our goal is inspiring deep questioning and peaceful action. We serve grades 1-12.

A tuition-free public charter, Great River School fosters self-expression in a supportive environment that values critical thinking and the richness and strength of a diverse community.

Great River School encourages students to seek new challenges and explore their abilities. Instruction through travel, practical learning, the arts, and micro-economic ventures provide relevant skills to meet the world with compassion and a sense of responsibility.
