Now accepting applications and enrollments for 2025-2026. Come see what Montessori in Steubenville is all about!
She wasn’t able to read at all when she joined us last year. This year she stops what she’s doing to help when she sees another brand new student struggling to read.
This is why this style of classroom is so powerful.
Tom’s AMI Elementary diploma arrived! A reason for a toast! Now both our Primary and Elementary guides are AMI diploma holders.

Baking has been popular in our Primary classroom recently. Baking requires so many skills: reading the recipe, fractions for measuring, reading a clock so they could make the sure dough rose and baked correctly, concentration to complete the process, and so many other things.
These boys (ages 5 & 6) made these delicious pumpkin bread rolls that they shared with all their Primary friends for snack!

A student wanted to make a machine that would use flowing water to work a hammer. I asked him to draw it up, so he did. Then I asked him to gather the materials he would use, so he did. Then I said, "okay, go ahead and build it." He had some questions along the way, but I answered none of them directly — just a leading question here and there. Here is the first edition; I expect a larger version will follow, with more substantial parts. He wants it to be able to crush nuts. It`s a good start!

It’s #GivingTuesday 2020. Like so many other worthy charities we are seeking your support.
We began this year in spite of COVID with twelve children. Since we do not wish ability to pay to be a barrier, seven of those twelve have received some level of tuition reduction.
As you can see in the photos below from our Instagram feed, it has been a pleasing year thus far. We have added:
- a dishwashing stand where children can learn to wash and dry their own dishes after snack;
- a knobs and screws work for the children to learn how to use basic tools;
- aprons and oil cloth underlays to increase the number of children who can do pouring works;
- some outdoor tools for raking leaves;
- more books for our reading corner, among other things.
Our ask for #GivingTuesday is two-fold:
Large Needs
Heating and Ventilation: First, if you can give a large amount, it will help us shore up our aging heating and cooling system. Our furnace, air conditioning unit, and ductwork are very old and need to be serviced badly. Such work doesn’t fit into the regular budget, so an emergency could be catastrophic for us.
Outdoor Works: Second, we would love to provide an outdoor space where children could go to do outdoor works in a secure and well-designed yard. This requires a retaining wall and fence around the perimeter.
Larger gifts will help make these possible sooner rather than later.
Smaller Needs
For those who cannot give a large amount, would you consider becoming a monthly donor? Monthly donors are the lifeblood of our operations, allowing us to plan for the future. We are looking for 20 new donors at the $20 level by the end of the year. We have nine new monthly donors, could you help us close that gap with a first $20 monthly donation?
Whatever you give, we thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. God bless!
