Our Mission
Brightstart Montessori School is a multicultural community, dedicated to promoting quality Montessori education for children from age three to thirteen (3-12).
We aim to lead and guide children into becoming integrated, independent and fully functioning adults who will be instrumental in the development of the future of our country.
Our Vision
A great school rests on four pillars, cultivating in its pupils:
A passion for excellence in the things that they do and a joyful scholarship.
A deeply internalized set of core values that one lives by when others are not looking.
A sense of being part of the family of humanity—a global understanding.
A commitment of services back to the people known and others not yet met.
