Intercultural Montessori Language School
The goal of Intercultural Montessori Language School is to educate all children to become bilingual and biliterate and better equip them for citizenship within a global society. Structured under the Montessori tradition, which focuses on experiential learning, families can choose from three dual-language programs: Spanish/English, Japanese/English, or Chinese Mandarin/English. Children ages three to six can participate in half-day, full-day, or extended-day programs, while elementary students, aged seven to twelve, participate in a standard full-day program. Unsurprisingly, Intercultural Montessori has attracted an exceptional, multicultural faculty, which complements the diversity of the city to create a wonderful and supportive educational community. Serving students from their Chicago location in the West Loop, to the surrounding neighborhoods of Pilsen, the Near West Side, South Loop, Downtown, and River North, Intercultural Montessori Language School also has an additional location in the suburb of Oak Park.
