Vision
The Parker Woods Montessori community is committed to using the Montessori philosophy and method to develop the whole child. We will promote the unique and individual talents of all children. In partnership, families, staff and the community will nurture and inspire children to become life-long learners who are committed to the democratic empowerment of their communities and develop a love of the natural environment.
We are dedicated to nurturing the spirit and intellect of each child through Montessori education and the use of advanced technologies to meet the demands of the future.

Community Learning Centers
For our schools to transform, our communities must be revitalized. For our communities to revitalize, our schools must be transformed. They are dependent on each other and Community Learning Centers are the link.
What is a Community Learning Center (CLC)?
Schools and the communities they serve are closely linked. Seldom does one succeed without the success of the other. That's why our CLCs support student achievement, enrich and revitalize communities, and maximize the community's return on their financial investment.
We are very proud to be a CLC and a neighborhood anchor. We strive to go beyond academics to focus on the whole child by serving as a hub for community services that are available to all students, their families and the entire community. We are able to offer a variety of services thanks to the collaboration and support of our many partners and the committed community of Northside.
