Why Bellevue Montessori School?

We Emphasize More than Just Academics

We honor your child’s individuality and focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing them to take on the future with confidence, propelled by the gift of self knowledge and a passion for learning.

We’re a Community

Our school is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Because children thrive when home and school work in harmony. 

We are passionate and experienced Montessori Educators 

Bellevue Montessori School offers an enlightening and nurturing Montessori environment to educate and support each child in reaching their full potential and inspiring a passion for learning.

We offer Individualized Learning

Children have the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.  Individualized instruction ensures children who need more support with certain skills get that support, and those who are ready to move ahead are offered the challenges they crave.

Our Programs

Toddler

18 - 36 months

The Toddler Community is for children between 18 months to 3 years (walkers). Bellevue Montessori School’s Toddler Program is designed with care to meet the exploratory and emotional needs of the Toddler. The program has a balance of activities to aid the holistic development of the toddler. BMS has three Toddler Classrooms nested in a beautiful home-like setting with a spacious playground, garden, and Sensory Pathway.

Primary

2 3/4 - 6 years

As the children enter the Prmary classrooms and discover enticing materials, they have the freedom to choose their own activities under the guidance of a Montessori-trained teacher. The Montessori hands on materials cultivate concentration, independence and a love of learning. While independent learning is emphasized to allow a child to grow at their own pace, a healthy emphasis is given to the development of social skills to foster empathy, respect and communication.
