Why Choose Us?
Our Programs
Monticello Montessori students engage in the hands-on, self-directed Montessori learning method through an intentional content sequence and adherence to Idaho Content Standards.
Montessori Method
The Montessori Method is a holistic approach to learning focused on the whole development of the child. With encouragement and support, students discover their unique talents and missions in life.
Our Mission
Our Mission is to help students maximize their inner potentials, take responsibility for their own education, cultivate personal dignity, and develop independence and purpose in life.
Fairness & Equality
We are publicly funded and do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, gender, gender preference, disability, religion, or age in its programs and activities.

Is Monticello Montessori a public school?
Yes. We are a free public school authorized by the Idaho Public Charter School Commission, a division of the Idaho State Board of Education.
Who can attend?
Monticello Montessori Public Charter School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, or age in its programs and activities. Students between the ages of five and 12 may enroll up to the capacity available. If enrollment requests exceed the capacity of the school, we will follow an equitable lottery selection process to determine who can attend.
How much does Monticello Montessori cost?
We are a free public school. There is no cost for any student enrolled in our half-day kindergarten program through the sixth grade. We also do not require families to purchase or pay fees for school supplies. We may ask parents to pay fees associated with voluntary activities that are not necessary elements of school activity, such as field trips. We also welcome your donations of time and/or money to the school if you so choose.
Do you have special education services?
Yes, we do. The early years form the foundation of growth and development, and we believe it is important to keep you informed about your child’s development. If you have questions or concerns regarding supplemental and/or special needs programs, please feel free to contact us about services for those who qualify.
How does your lottery work?
Monticello holds a lottery on or before April 30 of each year. We fill all openings during the school year according to the order established by that lottery. Learn more about how we conduct our lottery.
