“When you come to our Bright Street campus you are immediately aware that you have entered a magical place - full of life and energy with a clear sense of purpose and commitment to community.”
-Jacquie Maughan, Founder of Pacific Crest School
About Our Community
We Work Together…
to maintain a safe, respectful and joyful environment where students learn to balance the freedom and responsibility that comes with being active participants in their community. Each classroom and common area is a thoughtfully prepared environment centered around shared spaces and tools maintained by the students. Mixed-age classrooms allow students to both be mentored and become mentors — a micro-community within itself. The focus on the child’s growth with respect to and in relationship with the community is an essential part of educating the whole child — for life.
We Believe In…
Respectful and Caring Environments
Commitment to the Support of Human Development
Belief in the Potential of Each and Every Child
Support on the Path to Independence
Pacific Crest Montessori School is more than just a place of learning; it's a vibrant community of students, parents, and educators working together to support each child's growth. We believe in the power of collaboration and encourage active parent involvement through various events, volunteer opportunities, and open communication.
We Share…
the common spaces of our campus wrapped around the outdoor gardens and courtyard that invite all to find a place to work, play, reflect and enjoy the life of the children. As you enter the buildings you enter another welcoming space for all — a gallery that features the work of the students and a space that welcomes children to join their respective communities and parents to stop for a few moments each day to catch up with one another and share in the activities of the school community.
It is this profound belief in the life of the entire school community that defines Pacific Crest School
