Pioneer Valley Montessori School

Welcome to the Pioneer Valley Montessori website and thank you for your interest in our school. I hope that you will explore these pages and that you will be inspired to come and visit us in person to experience firsthand the warmth and excitement in our classrooms and the excellent education that PVMS offers its students.

Pioneer Valley Montessori has programs for children 18 months through sixth grade. Our programs have a solid base in Montessori philosophy and practices and are enriched by our programs in art, music, physical education, foreign language and Junior Great Books. Our teachers are Montessori-trained and our school is the only American Montessori Society Accredited Member School in western Massachusetts. The school is also accredited by AISNE (Association of Independent Schools of New England) and NAEYC (National Academy of Early Childhood Programs). PVMS is a member of MSM, (Montessori Schools of Massachusetts).

I am very proud of the peaceful and focused classrooms that have been nurtured by our dedicated and loving teachers. Even the most casual observer walks away impressed by the busy hum of activity and the cooperative spirit in our classrooms.
