Laramie Montessori School is Wyoming’s first Montessori charter school and third charter school in the state. In January 2008 a few parents who wanted something different for their children created the non-profit group Laramie Montessori Elementary School Steering Committee to begin the process of bringing elementary Montessori to Laramie, WY. With support from the Albany County Resource and assistance from the Wyoming Department of Education and several Montessori schools in Colorado, this pioneering group of parents took the first steps toward opening Laramie Montessori School.
