WMS is a community of learners, from the toddlers in our YCC program through our Middle School to teachers and families.

Rooted in the Montessori Method introduced to the world by Dr.

Maria Montessori, who revolutionized the world`s approach to educating young children, our community focuses on the individual and collective pursuit of learning.

AT WMS, EACH STUDENT MATTERS.Launa Schweizer, Head of SchoolAt WMS, each student matters.

Each student learns through a deep engagement with the material, developing a sturdy, flexible and powerful understanding of the world around them.

Students learn to make choices and take responsibility. As a result, they go on to become responsible global citizens who lead fulfilling lives.

At WMS, the community also matters. We know that we all benefit from the strength of a shared commitment to high standards, deep compassion, and mutual respect.

Established in 1972, Litchfield Montessori School offers an exceptional education to children 15 months through 12 years old who come from twenty surrounding communities.

Located on four acres in the Northfield section of Litchfield, the school is nestled in natural beauty, adjacent to a community park.

Designed by world-renowned architect Marcel Breuer, the building structure utilizes the flow of natural light and complements our classroom environments; richly prepared to meet the developing needs of the individual child.

We are committed to serving the whole child, guided by the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori, dedicated to nurturing the child's love of learning, preserving the child's sense of wonder, encouraging independence and imagination, and fostering respect for our world's social and cultural diversity.
