The Founding Mission of Nightingale Montessori
To model the value of world peace by celebrating diversity in the classroom,
empowering each child's self-motivation and self-trust, and practicing responsible citizenship and Earth stewardship.
Nightingale Montessori is a non-profit independent preK-12 Charter School.
We provide students from infancy through high school with a strong foundation for transfomational learning.
All classes are directed by certified American Montessori Society teachers.
In 1978, Nightingale embarked on a pioneering vision to meet the diverse needs of Springfield families. We are deeply committed to implementing the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori as a paradigm shift in traditional education and as a model for educational reform.
The school showcases a prepared learning environment that treasures the unique worth of every child and invites students to explore their full creative and intellectual potential. We offer an educational method that nourishes self-motivation, inspires reverence for life, and teaches the self-discipline necessary for responsible world citizenship.
The current school population is 165 coming from 21 school districts in the region. The school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 4:1 enabling teachers to tailor the learning experience to each student's unique inborn learning traits. Success is measured by the child’s continuing enthusiasm for learning.
The ideal time to enroll in a Montessori Education is between the ages of 3 to 6 years.
