Enrichment programs at North End Montessori School are designed to offer each child well-rounded experiences that inspire a love of learning and deepen skills and understanding of concepts.
Many of our enrichment programs are offered on-site as extracurricular activities during morning or afternoon recess periods. Families appreciate unique opportunities to for their children to access enrichment programs taught by our school staff members or adjunct facility professionals.
We also offer programs through outside professional and community resources such as local museums, libraries, ski areas, and theater groups.
Most enrichment opportunities are offered periodically on a first-come, first served basis. North End Montessori staff members communicate regularly with parents throughout the year as enrichment opportunities arise.
