Salem Montessori School began 25 years ago when founder Julie Smith wanted to create a Montessori learning environment for her children in partnership with other interested parents. From modest beginnings in Julie’s home basement in 1998, to church buildings, and a children’s museum in between, Salem Montessori School opened a new, purpose built space in the fall of 2023. From one classroom, Salem Montessori School has grown to offer three toddler classrooms, two children’s house classrooms, a kindergarten classroom, and two lower elementary classrooms and one upper elementary.
