Pinewoods Montessori School

Throughout the decades, Pinewoods has inspired curiosity, cultivated critical thinking, and empowered children to participate with confidence in their rapidly changing world. Our school story is tied to the vision of Maria Montessori, our founding staff and families, and our current educators, students, and community.

The Montessori method is based on careful observation, tactile learning materials and attention to intrinsic motivation. Within each classroom, multiple grades or ages of students are combined, creating a multi-age setting where students are mentored and lead peers. These environments are organized with attention to the developmental level of the class and instruction is tailored to the individual interest and ability of each child.

Pinewoods Montessori in Hillsborough, NC provides an authentic Montessori education in which children develop a love of learning within a safe, peaceful setting.
