COVID-19 Update
In response to the restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, our in-class programs adapted quickly to new remote learning environments. In September we returned to full in class instruction, keeping our learning groups small.
We sincerely thank our students, parents, and our amazing teachers for their hard work, dedication, and support during this time.
Note: Classroom observations have been suspended for the time being.

About Us
Discover Montessori School is a non-profit Independent school and licensed child care facility. We follow the educational model and philosophy envisioned by Dr. Maria Montessori, with a deep emphasis on personal and collective responsibility for the Earth and for each other. Within a strong academic framework, we teach the interconnectedness of all subjects, the importance of community, and work toward developing peace through mutual respect, compassion, and understanding.
Our programs offer experiential, hands-on learning for students ages three to fifteen, over two campuses in Nanaimo and Parksville. We deeply value and foster each child's independence and work together with families to support the unique development of each student, at their own pace.
