“For many reasons, we joined The Montessori School of Pullman, and for many more reasons, we stayed for six years.  When our daughter, Alivia, was two, we moved to Pullman, Washington – almost two thousand miles away from our family. As a neuroscientist studying learning and memory, I had inherent interest and rationale for wanting Alivia in an alternative learning environment, like Montessori. Specifically, I didn’t want her confined to a desk. I wanted her to learn through experience and discovery, and by teaching others."

"During our time at the school, it became evident that The Montessori School of Pullman had more to offer than academics. Miss Bev is the glue of the school and she is driven by her passion and genuine love for each and every child.  She and her staff are truly dedicated to integrative learning in an inclusive environment. Their holistic approach to education is multi-faceted in that children not only develop proficiency in STEM-driven academics, but also, explore different cultures (and frequently celebrate different traditions), develop healthy friendships, learn how to manage conflict, gain responsibility and respect for their environment, and are given opportunities at every age to be led by their peers and simultaneously lead others. The children are respected as individuals, praised for their unique strengths, and given autonomy over their learning that builds confidence."
