Joyful Learning, Devoted Teachers,
Boundless Knowledge.
At BCMS we know that learning must be interesting and fun, therefore we strive to provide a well-rounded education that affords our students the opportunity to explore and learn at their own pace and for their own knowledge; this brings its own rewards such as self-motivation and joyous learning. The basic goals for our young student’s education here at BCMS — to help increase the child’s level of independence, to increase their ability to concentrate, and to encourage their imagination — are all in the spirit of honoring their childhood.
For parents, students, and teachers our program is a 3 year journey from preschool through kindergarten, that is filled with joyful learning, devoted teachers and boundless knowledge.
What makes us unique
WE CELEBRATED OUR 50TH ANNIVERSARY IN 2022!
In 1972, the school was established as "Westlake Montessori School." However, due to lease complications, the founders relocated to our present site in 1980 and rebranded their institution as "Big City Montessori School." Today, Big City Montessori School remains a family-owned, authentic Montessori educational institution.
AN AUTHENTIC MONTESSORI SCHOOL WITH LONG-TENURED STAFF
Big City has three beautifully equipped, mixed-age (3-6 years old) primary Montessori classrooms with up to 25 students. The classrooms are designed to be inviting and inspiring to your child, with diverse subjects that encourage your child to explore independently. Each class is run by a long-tenured AMI Montessori Head Teacher and her team of three certified Assistant Teachers (1-6 ratio).
