Welcome to the
NWT Montessori Society

For over 40 years we have operated
the Yellowknife Montessori School

Using the Montessori Philosophy and Method of Education, it is the goal of the NWT Montessori Society to instill in each child a sound academic foundation, self-worth, and respect for others, a love of learning, a sense of order and discipline, an appreciation of nature, and a strong sense of responsibility to the community.

The NWT Montessori Society strives to provide a continuum of programs, from toddler through upper elementary, that affirms the uniqueness and value of a Montessori education and cultivate a life-long love of learning.

Programs

Casa (Preschool)

Our primary program with a focus on children aged 2.5 – 4 years old.

To succeed in our program, students must be fully potty trained. This means they require no hands on assistance when using the washroom. Our staff members will be there to coach any students that need help but this is a skill they are expected to have prior to their start date.

News!

NWT Montessori Society was a proud recipient of a Canada Post Foundation Grant. President Megan Wood was on hand to accept the cheque and share plans for utilization of the donation, “We’re very honoured. We feel very blessed that Canada Post would want to invest in our tiny little society, and make a more exclusive space for children. What we’re planning on doing is, we have a front yard that hasn’t been usable for kids to play on, and now we’re gonna be able to put some more inclusive equipment out there and really get that space looking and feeling good for the kids.”
