Overview
Bloomington Montessori School is a privately funded, not-for-profit school for children ages 3 to 12, preschool through Grade 6.
The school was founded in 1968, by a group of parents who wanted Montessori education for their children.
The school moved to its present location in 1983 and was expanded in 2004.
The building was specially designed to suit the needs of children learning in a Montessori environment.
The Montessori method includes the use of a wide range of specially designed teaching materials which form part of a "prepared environment," to enable children to learn individually, at their own pace, in a non-competitive atmosphere.
The mission of St. Charles School, with Jesus Christ as our guide, is to teach the total child by integrating the key areas of human development: spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social.
We continually challenge students to do their personal best in a safe, supportive, and respectful environment that is spiritually and academically rich and prepare them to be life long learners in an ever-changing world.
Rich in tradition, St. Charles School has educated thousands of children, instilling within them, through diverse curricular and extracurricular programs and experiences, a sense of justice, charity, self-worth, and individual dignity.
