Welcome to the NWT Montessori Society!
Using the Montessori Philosophy and Method of Education, our goal is to instill in each child a sound academic foundation, self-worth and respect for others, a love of learning, a sense of order and discipline, an appreciation of nature, and a strong sense of responsibility to the community.
At the Yellowknife Montessori School children learn to become lifelong learners
The Montessori classroom is a “prepared environment” where the child is free to discover, learn and understand concepts that develop the lifelong learner.
Children Learn Social Interaction, Cooperative Learning, Emotional Development…

NEWS & EVENTS
Let Them Be Kids Yellowknife
It feels like we have won the lottery! The NWT Montessori Society and NJ Macpherson School applied for a grant, sponsored by the Let Them Be Kids Foundation. We are extremely fortunate that we were awarded the Helping Hands Award.
It will give us a 50/50 match for every fundraising dollar we raise towards the purchase of safe and secure play and fitness equipment. If you donate $1.00 we get $2.00 in equipment buying power. So, we’ve talked about it for a while …and finally, this is the school year that we are going to get a new playground!
Watch for more EXCITING details regarding our playground projects, and ways that you can get involved with this great community building experience coming soon!
