History
Opening its doors in 1985, Woodside Montessori Academy educational philosophy is based on Dr. Maria Montessori's ideals and teachings, our program reflects a love and respect for each student. It is student-centered, with a commitment to the success and happiness of each of our students. At Woodside we believe that a Montessori education prepares students to be life-long learners and develops the whole student. The method is: interdisciplinary, focused on the student, hands-on, allows for problem solving, instrumental in developing self-confidence and leadership skills, collaborative, all while being academically rich and challenging. By incorporating students from all racial, ethnic, socioeconomic, and intellectual backgrounds, Woodside aims to prepare its students academically, emotionally and physically to become good citizens of the world.
