About
"I like the sense of small community my child gets from attending Brickton Montessori School -- no way you could get that from public school!"
~Lynn Weddle, parent of an alumnus

Support Brickton - Ways To Donate
We are very proud of our community of giving at Brickton Montessori School. Parents, Alumni, Alumni Parents, Faculty, Staff, Board Members, Friends of Brickton, and Foundations help support the school with generous financial donations. It is important that we raise money to help pay the operating costs of the school as well as to fund projects like our recent "re-branding"; we re-designed our logo and updated the school to reflect our new look. Thanks to the help and support of donors and volunteers, Brickton is thriving.
What is Montessori?
The Montessori philosophy of teaching was created by Maria Montessori (1870-1952), an Italian physician whose inquiries extended into philosophy, psychology, and anthropology. However, it was in education that she found a practice that could unite and divine meaning from all of these diverse disciplines.
History
In 1986, a group of committed parents and Montessori educators opened Brickton Montessori School as an educational alternative that presents learning as a joyful, exciting process.
