Students in Cobb’s Young Children’s Community interact with classmates in a beautiful space designed to meet their needs. With love and guidance, Cobb’s teachers prepare the way for these spirited and capable toddlers to begin building the adults they will one day become. Dr. Maria Montessori believed the first three years of life are the most important in the development of human beings and their potential. A Montessori start lays the foundation.
Students in Cobb’s Primary develop their skills in four principle areas: language, math, sensorial, and practical life. Our “morning children” learn from our “extended day,” as they work together in an ordered, joyful, and peaceful environment. The students learn to work at a task from beginning to end and improve their capacity for deep concentration. They exercise their executive functions, learning patience, self-discipline, and responsibility to the community.
Students in Cobb’s Lower Elementary study math, language, earth and physical science, geography, biology, history, music, art, Spanish, and physical education. They delight in their growing independence, and they relish time with friends. The classrooms are alive with energy as students exercise their minds and social skills, working together in a peaceful community. The children develop the skills and self-confidence to become more responsible for their work and are aware of their strengths and weaknesses, as they grow into thoughtful, respectful, responsible citizens.
Students in Cobb’s Upper Elementary study math, art, science, music, literature, history, Spanish, and more. They learn how to plan their days and meet their goals. Their individualized curriculum and freedom to follow their passions fuel their love of learning. They discover the world around them as they discover themselves. With increasing responsibility and independence, the Upper Elementary students continue to develop academic skills and a strong ethical sense.
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.
Schedule a Tour" 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."

“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.”
