About

The Cobb School, Montessori is truly an extraordinary place of learning. Our mission: to stimulate each child's natural curiosity and to prepare them to become independent, self-reliant and compassionate human beings.

The Cobb School, Montessori is committed to developing a strong sense of community in which every member feels valued. We welcome diversity in our staff and student body and promote access and equity with respect to backgrounds of race, creed, cultural heritage, political beliefs, marital status, sexual orientation, gender orientation, national/ethnic origins or abilities. We expect that individual beliefs and feelings will be shared and valued and conflicts acknowledged, explored and peacefully resolved. Curriculum at The Cobb School is rich and varied with emphasis on multicultural and anti-bias learning. We educate to broaden students’ views of themselves, local, social and global communities. We strive to strengthen understanding in The Cobb School community about issues of racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, gender identity, equity, peace and social justice through professional development and a variety of community activities.

Testimonials

" The minute I sat in a Cobb School classroom, I felt there was a whole new world of what education could be. The children were so confident and polite and caring of each other. There is such a sense of respect and love."

- Laura Oliver

“It is a rare to find a school that does more than educate your children. In Cobb we found a partner in raising our three children with values we treasure- kindness, perseverance, and love of learning. Our daughter and sons flourished at Cobb and the excellent education they received gave them the foundation to thrive thereafter. We will be forever grateful.”

- Tracy Smith & Dan Joseph
