About Maria Montessori School

Maria Montessori School serves preschool, elementary, and secondary children.  The school is a not for profit California (501)C3 and is operated by Argonauta Educational Programs Inc. and is a Full Member school of the American Montessori Society.

Our school has been providing high quality education in a nurturing environment for children in San Diego since 1975.  If you believe that:

• learning should be a happy, joyous experience;
• each child grows physically and mentally at his/her own pace;
• success builds confidence;
• needs and interests vary from child to child;
• children should be treated with respect;
• education is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in which the child acts on his/her environment;
• most children have more potential than they are encouraged to develop;
• children learn best in an environment of love, security, understanding, and consistency;
• the most important years are not the years of university studies but the first ones – the formative years – when the child’s mental life is being developed;
