The Farmington Valley Academy Montessori

The decision to send your child to a Montessori school is a big decision. This choice reflects your understanding of the depth and breadth of your child’s needs and your desire for their school environment to be one that nurtures their natural love of learning and growing independence. A Montessori education is one that extends beyond the classroom, and into the home environment. Parents are strongly encouraged to understand how the principles of Montessori can be integrated into the home. Throughout the year there are opportunities for parents to meet with other parents and the teachers to discuss these concepts and learn more about the Montessori philosophy.  


The relationship between the school and the parent is one of cooperation.  The primary goal is to determine and provide what is best for each child. Parents will have open and ongoing communication with the teacher. They are encouraged to become a part of the school community by attending events and offering a skill or talent in the classroom. There is a Parent Association that meets regularly over the course of the school year. This is a great way to meet other parents and stay abreast of school activities
