Montessori Magnet @Batchelder School is the largest Public Montessori School in the state of Connecticut and is part of the Hartford Public School system. We are a passionate community of educators and parents who work together to offer authentic Montessori pedagogy aligned with state standards to those who may never have the opportunity to experience the benefits of exercising freedom of choice with guidance.

Our state and Montessori certified educators create opportunities for students to design their own weekly work plans from an array of choices. Choice develops executive functioning skills like time management, planning, and task initiation beside giving students the freedom of purposeful movement and voice. Educators make sure all pertinent grade level standards are reflected in each child’s work plan and offers timely, relevant individual and small group lessons. Each classroom is also staffed with a Montessori trained assistant so each student is supported in their respective pursuits.

Another hallmark of our Montessori classrooms is the multi-age environment. Students of different ages are provided leadership opportunities and peer role models within the same classroom. Students gain necessary skills and grade level specific content knowledge while learning to be kind, responsible, respectful, and safe.

Montessori Magnet @ Batchelder School educates the whole child by supporting each student cognitively, emotionally and socially. Come see the benefits personalized learning with supportive guidance can have on your child!
