Who We Are
History
Founded in 1976 in the home of Mrs. Jo Wright, the Montessori School of Florence has grown from a single primary class to a vibrant school community that now includes programs from 2K through 6th grade. We moved to our current location in 1999 and have continued to thrive as a not-for-profit, parent-operated school.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide children and families in Florence, SC, with pre-school and elementary education of the highest quality, consistent with the principles of Montessori education. As an independent, non-denominational, not-for-profit school, we are dedicated to nurturing each child’s potential and fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Accreditations
Our school is accredited by the South Carolina Independent School Association and licensed by the Department of Social Services. Our teachers are certified by the American Montessori Society and are dedicated to delivering an education that meets the highest standards.
