Studio Montessori
633 8th Street, San Francisco 94103
Within our small community, children at the earliest age have the opportunity to acquire key social skills in collaboration, turn-taking, team building and conflict resolution. This leads to children forming exceptionally close loving friendships with their school peers. School becomes a joy for them and their guides.

What this means
Montessori mixes children by age and uses hands-on, self-correcting materials so kids learn at their own pace with lots of independence.
Full immersion means most of the day is conducted in French Immersion, so children absorb the language naturally. It's normal for kids to understand little at first — they pick it up quickly.
