WELCOME TO CENTRAL OREGON’S ONLY TUITION-FREE PUBLIC MONTESSORI ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Welcome to Desert Sky Montessori - Desert Sky Montessori is a non-profit (501c3), public charter school in Bend, Oregon and the ONLY tuition-free Montessori elementary school in Central Oregon. We are thrilled to be entering our sixth year, at a brand new campus and class offerings to include Kindergarten through 6th Grade.
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 guides 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.
Ready to take the next step?
Thank you for your interest in Desert Sky Montessori Public Charter School. Our charter is approved with the Bend – La Pine School District to serve Kindergarten through 8th grade. We currently offer grades Kindergarten through 6th grade with plans to expand to middle school as soon as possible.
“The child who concentrates is immensely happy.”
— Maria Montessori
