La Jolla Montessori School is a private bilingual (English/Spanish) Montessori school that serves children from infancy through kindergarten. Classrooms are described as Montessori-prepared environments with child-sized materials intended to support independence, concentration, and practical life skills.
The school combines Montessori methodology with an English/Spanish immersion model using a two-teacher approach (one English-speaking and one Spanish-speaking teacher) to build language fluency alongside Montessori learning. Instruction emphasises individualized learning, peer learning, and development of practical life, sensorial and academic foundations following Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) principles and Montessori materials.
Before- and after-school care is offered, with an after-school room that provides play-based materials, outdoor play, snacks and games; the program also offers on-site enrichment classes.
The Nido provides a serene, home-like environment where infants can safely explore, grow, and begin their journey toward independence; the classroom is organised into specialised areas such as movement, eye-hand coordination, language, practical life, art & sensory, and music & nature.
Primary, Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten classrooms apply Montessori materials and peer learning to develop self-motivation, language and mathematical understanding while supporting independence and social skills.
The school uses a two-teacher model—one teacher speaking only English and one teacher speaking only Spanish—to immerse children in both languages and build foreign-language fluency.
The school offers two five-week summer sessions for currently enrolled families.
