Mission: Hollis Montessori School is committed to providing the highest
quality Association Montessori International (AMI) learning
environment, supporting each student along an individual path of
growth and development, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning in a
respectful community.
HMS first opened its doors in September 2008 on Proctor Hill Road in Hollis, New Hampshire as an independent, non-profit, nonsectarian Montessori school. Initially offering Primary and Elementary programs, the Upper School program launched in 2011, completing the vision to offer the complete arc of Montessori education from age 3 through ninth grade. In 2012, the school purchased 9 acres on South Merrimack Road in Hollis and built a state-of-the-art, energy-efficient 14,000 square foot facility.
At the heart of our school is the philosophy of Maria Montessori, whose educational method has proven successful for more than a century in tens of thousands of schools around the world. Our volunteer board of directors provides oversight for the school. Our faculty members are highly-trained and share a passion for creating a love of learning and honoring the values of respect, independence, and creativity.
Our school is accredited by Association Montessori International. The AMI credential is recognized by Montessori professionals around the world. We are the only AMI Montessori school in New Hampshire.
As a non-profit school, Hollis Montessori relies heavily upon donations to support our programs and the Spring Gala is our largest fundraiser of the year. While tuition covers many essential costs, we depend on our fundraising efforts to provide high quality Montessori programs and facilities; to attract, retain and encourage exceptional faculty and staff; and to offer tuition assistance to those who would otherwise not be able to attend. With a stable base of annual support, Hollis Montessori can continue to strengthen the very roots of our Montessori program.
