Brickton Montessori School is an independent Montessori school founded over 35 years ago to provide an educational alternative that presents learning as a joyful, exciting process.  Today, we serve children from infancy to eighth grade. Our diverse student population comes from all around the northwest Chicago community.

We believe in nurturing the heart of the child and challenging the intellect. Our individualized Montessori curriculum is designed to meet the unique needs of each child, promote self-motivation, and foster a global mindset through peace education. 

The Big Leap is Brickton’s biggest fundraising event.  It is an adults-only evening filled with food, music, and fun. Each year the benefit’s proceeds support our mission to provide an outstanding Montessori education to the next generation of leaders.
