St. Charles Montessori School

St. Charles is a community with a deep appreciation for quality, history, and doing things the right way. At Fox Valley Montessori School, we've been guided by those same values since the late 1960s. Our AMS-accredited campus in Aurora offers Montessori programs from 15 months through 6th grade — rooted in the belief that every child deserves to be truly seen as an individual.

An Education Built Around Your Individual Child

In a Montessori classroom, no two children have the same day — and that's intentional. Teachers at Fox Valley Montessori School present material one-on-one, observe each child's emerging interests, and gently challenge them at precisely the right moment. The result is a child who learns because they want to, not because they have to.
• Individual one-on-one lessons from certified Montessori teachers
• Three-year classroom cycles that deepen relationships and learning
• Before & after school care available for families' real schedules
• Non-profit school committed to the mission, not the bottom line
• Nut-free, safe facility with outdoor playground and gymnasium
15 Months — 6th Grade

Four Programs, One Continuous Community

Toddler Ages 15th months - 3 years
A DCFS-licensed environment designed for small learners. Everything is child-sized and real — building independence, language, and self-care from day one.
Primary Ages 3 - 6 years
Sensory-rich materials, and self-directed exploration. A calm, inviting space where children build focus and fall in love with learning.
Elementary I Grades 1-3
Community, ethics, and a full academic curriculum taught with Montessori methods — aligned with National and Illinois State Core Curriculum Standards.
Elementary II Grades 3-6
Deep academic work and growing independence in the second three-year cycle, preparing each student to enter any secondary school with confidence and skill.
"The learning environment is wonderful: tidy, well appointed, and safe. This school feels like a community, and I know the teachers and office staff really know and care for my kiddo."
