Mission Statement

Our Lady of Grace Montessori School and Center, sponsored by the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, is committed to nurturing the spiritual and educational growth of God's people.

Rooted in the Good News of Jesus Christ, our School strives to foster and maintain an educational experience for children, inspiring them to pursue life-long learning; our Center is committed to providing holistic programs to nurture the spirit and promote an experience of God's unconditional love.

An Education of the Spirit, Mind and Heart

To teach children by prizing their inner human qualities of mind, emotion, creativity, wonder, reverence, and the need for self-realization is at the core of the Montessori experience at Our Lady of Grace.

Adhering to New York state standards and curriculum and within the context of a Catholic/Christian atmosphere, we offer a nurturing environment and a curriculum that follows Dr. Montessori's methods of self-direction and discovery. We recognize that parents are the child's first educators and are therefore also an integral part of their child's educational journey.

These tenets, in tandem with specifically designed classrooms and materials, are the tools our teachers use to encourage our students to develop a spirit of independence and an intrinsic satisfaction of learning within their own unique timetables of development. Our mission, our faculty, and every inch of our classrooms and playing fields are devoted to just one thing ~ providing the best start to a lifetime of learning!
