Central Oregon’s first and only tuition-free Montessori school
Desert Sky Montessori is unique in that we are the only K–6 elementary school in Central Oregon that provides a free Montessori education for all students, no matter their socioeconomic status. We are a Choice Options charter school in Bend-La Pine Schools. Our lottery opens every spring for enrollment the following fall, and we accept families on our waitlist year-round. Learn more about the enrollment process.
How the Montessori method is transforming education
At Desert Sky Montessori, we engage students utilizing the many tools that the Montessori curriculum has to offer.
We meet each individual student at the place their interests and passions guide them to.
The Montessori philosophy holds that adults are “guides” and need only demonstrate, invite, and provide opportunities for children to learn.
In that spirit, we work to create conditions where students can take ownership of their own education, and ultimately of their own life.
