Fostering an environment of inclusion and empathy, personal growth and independence, and a lifelong love of learning
Founded in 2008, the Laren School is an alternative school built on the pedagogical principles developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
It takes its name from the model school and teacher training center established by Dr. Montessori in 1936 in a town called Laren, in The Netherlands.
The Laren School welcomes children, families, and employees of any race, sexual orientation, national or ethnic origin. We do not discriminate on these bases in the administration of our education, admission, employment, or other school-administered programs.
Our Programs
Classes at The Laren School are made up of mixed-age groups: Casa, Lower and Upper Elementary, and the Adolescent Program.
Admissions
Applications for admission to The Laren School are open from January each school year.
