Getting good “grades,” learning certain skills, getting the right jobs, and learning the right techniques to succeed—this is an old story.

We want to tell a new story here at The Laren School, an additional story if you may. And that is the story of how character is formed, how the seeds of accomplishment grow and how possibilities are explored, with utmost hope and passion. We look forward to continuing relationships and bonds with children and families and connect to larger ideas, in an atmosphere of simplicity, love and nurturance.

Our Mission

The Laren School's mission is to support the personal growth and natural development of our students by maintaining an authentic Montessori learning environment that values and encourages critical thinking, self-discipline and the development of a moral conscience.

We commit to guiding our students' potential for leadership and service so that they can become citizens that make contributions to peace and the progress of humanity.
