Established in 2011.
Located steps from downtown Chicago in the historic Dearborn Station at Polk and Dearborn, South Loop Montessori School is a private, all day, year-round Montessori School for children 24 months through 6 years of age and weekend Parent-Child programs for children under the age of 2. We are a full member of the American Montessori Society and are affiliated with two esteemed Montessori schools in the north Chicago suburbs.
Our mission is to foster an enriching and challenging educational environment where each child is encouraged to grow to his or her fullest academic, emotional, social, spiritual and intellectual potential.
