St. Joseph Montessori offers several Parent Education events throughout the year to bring our community closer and to facilitate a greater knowledge and understanding of the Montessori Method in and outside of the classroom.

Sign up information will be announced soon.

Journey & Discovery: Tuesday, September 15, from 5-7 PM

We will lead parents on a journey of discovering what life is like inside a Montessori classroom. While you can read about the Montessori experience, this class will allow you to explore the continuum of the school and experience Montessori the way your children do.

Positive Discipline Series: Saturday, November 7, from 9 AM - 2 PM

During this one-day parent workshop, we will explore the Adlerian principles of positive discipline. Parents will leave equipped with tools and strategies to help navigate even the most challenging parenting situations. This class is geared towards parents of younger students, but anyone is welcome to attend. There will be a $30 materials fee per family for the course workbook package. The minimum class registration is 6 participants. If fewer than 6 participants register, the class will be canceled.

Montessori at Home (T-LE) and Independence and Executive Function in the UE and MS Student: Tuesday, November 3, from 6-7:30 PM

Learn more about children at the various developmental planes and how you can support their growth. Toddler, Children’s House, and Lower Elementary parents will learn about incorporating Montessori practices into their home, while Upper Elementary and Middle School parents will learn about Independence and Executive Function as students move into adolescence.

Moving Up Night: Wednesday, January 27 (1st session: 5:30 - 6:15 PM, 2nd session: 6:30 - 7:15 PM)

Join us for a special opportunity to see what learning looks like at your child’s next level at SJMS. You'll get a preview of what your child can look forward to as they grow and progress through our Montessori program. Teachers will demonstrate how Montessori materials build on one another to support deeper thinking, more complex skills, and greater independence at the next stage of development.
