Mountain View Montessori School offers excellence in education to children ages preschool through eighth grade. Our school is governed by the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori which seek to educate the whole child for life.

Mountain View Montessori School began in 1970 as Trinity Montessori School in the basement of Trinity Episcopal Church in Reno. We served children aged 3 to 6 for twenty-four years before establishing our elementary program in 1994.

In 1999 we changed our name to Mountain View Montessori, built and moved to our current 2.75 acre campus and currently have eight classrooms, educating more than 200 children. Our adolescent program (grades 7 and 8) was added in 2000.

We have recently (2006) constructed a 3,600-square-foot addition to our main building, which includes a permanent home for our adolescent program.

Mountain View Montessori School is licensed with the Nevada State Department of Education and Washoe County Social Services. We are affiliated with and accredited by Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). We are also members of the North American Montessori Teachers Association (NAMTA).

Mountain View Montessori School is an independent, coeducational, non-profit, non-sectarian school which welcomes students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.

Mountain View Montessori does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and other school-administered programs. We are supported by tuition, parent donations, and community and philanthropic grants and gifts.
