The sound of laughter…the language of friendship… a connection to nature… a place for kids to grow their own way.

Tolt Montessori

Tolt Montessori is part of a 501c3 nonprofit whose mission is to help change education in the United States. Tolt is an intentionally small, multi-age, constructivist learning community. We think that more schools should be started like ours for kids of all ages. We believe that constructivist ideas have the potential to reshape schooling in the USA in radically improved ways. The current operating paradigm of schooling is based on a factory model from the industrial age. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation, or think about planned giving in order to ensure equity and diversity in the form of scholarships. We wish to thank the Snoqualmie Tribe, the Norcliffe Foundation, and the Windermere Foundation for their support in the form of grants. We acknowledge the Snoqualmie Tribe’s legacy in the land, and the continuing community that we share, weaving it into the curriculum this year. Thanks also to so many families for their recognition and support in the form of tax-deductible donations. These allow us to locate and invite families to apply, for whom a joyful and student-driven constructivist education would typically be inaccessible.
