Who We Are

History

Founded in 1976 in the home of Mrs. Jo Wright, the Montessori School of Florence has grown from a single primary class to a vibrant school community that now includes programs from 2K through 5th grade. We moved to our current location in 1999 and have continued to thrive as a not-for-profit, parent-operated school.

Our mission is to provide children and families in Florence, SC, with pre-school and elementary education of the highest quality, consistent with the principles of Montessori education. As an independent, non-denominational, not-for-profit school, we are dedicated to nurturing each child’s potential and fostering a lifelong love of learning.

Accreditations

Our school is accredited by the South Carolina Independent School Association and licensed by the Department of Social Services. We are an American Montessori Society member school and our lead teachers are Montessori Accreditation Council for Teacher Education (MACTE) trained. We are dedicated to delivering an education that meets the highest standards.
