Who We Are

SBM Montessori & Academy is a private educational institution operating and registered under the guidelines of the California Department of Education (CDE). Our program serves students beginning in Kindergarten (age 4.9 years old) and is designed to expand progressively through the upper elementary grades, with the long-term vision of offering middle school and high school education.

Our Philosophy

We believe that meaningful learning is best demonstrated through each child’s individual growth and achievements rather than by age alone. By fostering curiosity and recognizing each learner’s strengths, we encourage children to progress at their own pace while building confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Our educational philosophy is founded on the belief that every child is a unique individual with their own abilities, interests, and potential. We believe children learn best when they are encouraged to explore, discover, and progress through their own achievements rather than being defined solely by their age or grade level. By combining the Montessori philosophy with the strengths of a traditional academic approach, we provide a balanced learning environment that promotes independence, creativity, critical thinking, confidence, and strong academic foundations. Our goal is to nurture the whole child by honoring their individual learning journey while preparing them with the knowledge, skills, and character needed to become successful, lifelong learners.

Our academic philosophy is built on five core principles.

SBM Montessori & Academy believes that education is not simply the transfer of knowledge, but the development of the whole child.
