Welcome to Hilltop Montessori School

Providing life-changing Montessori programs for the youth of Steubenville.

Montessori Education Can Eliminate the Income Achievement Gap

Children ages 3-6 see great education benefits when they go to a good Montessori school in Steubenville, Ohio or anywhere. According to a 2017 study by the University of Virginia, a good Montessori program is the only educational method shown to eliminate the achievement gap due to income among peers. Throughout their later education, children from lower-income families more routinely achieve at the same high rate as their peers from higher-income families if they went to a Montessori primary program. A Montessori program at that young age gives children confidence, the ability to take ownership of their own learning, and other intangibles that don’t come with a conventional education.

Don’t miss out on a great Montessori school in Steubenville!

We have a special prayer request for everyone during this Christmas season. Suzanne Lewis, the beautiful soul behind The Studio, and a great friend of Hilltop Montessori School, passed away this morning. She had battled cancer for years with grace and patience. Father Matthew Gossett was praying with her while another priest was offering Mass for her as she passed to her eternal reward. Suzanne’s support for Hilltop made it possible for us to begin our toddler program last year, and her generosity, prayers, and encouragement greatly helped us during a difficult period. Our Elementary students have benefited from the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium that she has maintained at The Studio, and we were allowed to use the stage space at The Studio for the original stage production our students put on two years ago. Please pray for the repose of her soul and the comfort of her family and friends. Eternal Light grant unto Suzanne, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

(This photo was taken at the Children’s Corner last winter. Suzanne had come to set up a small Christmas market where children could purchase inexpensive gifts to give as presents.)
