Fully Implemented Montessori School in Georgetown. See our beautiful campus, Cantera Montessori at https://msosv.com/cantera/

At Cantera Montessori, our fully implemented Montessori programs are designed to cultivate each child’s natural desire to learn; acquire and master skills; discover responsibility and cooperation; and foster strong, positive feelings about oneself and others. Our programs focus on developing a child’s creativity, while developing problem solving, social and time management skills within a classroom community.

We embrace Maria Montessori’s beliefs that all children are born with the inherent ability to achieve their full potential; are active participants in their learning; benefit greatly from strong, integrated academic & enrichment programs and that the teacher is the dynamic link in this process.

Cantera Core Values

COMMUNITY

All individuals – child, parent, staff – who join our incredibly diverse school community are treated with respect as individuals. Each is expected to take responsibility for their personal contribution to the group’s collective success.

ACCOUNTABILITY

At the core of accountability is reliability and personal responsibility. We value the ability of our staff and organization to honor our commitments and take ownership in results.

The Cantera Opal is born from an Igneous Rock called Rhyolite, it takes many steps along its long journey to produce its signature fire-like coloring. By partnering closely with the Montessori staff, Cantera Opal families will assist their student’s personal educational journey by embracing their responsibility in the collective success of the school.

RESPECT

Respect requires consideration and helpfulness as well as the ability to effectively listen, communicate, tolerate and treat others as they would like to be treated.

Respect requires consideration and helpfulness as well as the ability to effectively listen, communicate, tolerate, and treat others as they would like to be treated. Like describing the exact color of an opal, describing respect is always not an easy thing to do. Opals possess all the colors of a rainbow, but rarely in a neat pattern like a rainbow, more like an abstract painting using the brightest of colored paints, each requiring an appropriate level of acknowledgement.

INTEGRITY

Direct and honest, we make every effort to do the right thing every time. Our community exists to serve children. The integrity of our decisions is based on our motto “Children First, Always”

NURTURE

Our goal is to inspire and nurture the human spirit, one child at a time. We speak and act from the heart with true love for the child.

Like the Cantera Opal with its dazzling variety of shapes, colors and complexity, all children have characteristics unique to themselves while also sharing common characteristics with their peers. Our goal is to nurture the best qualities of all children to develop a life long love of learning and independence.

GROWTH

We help each other thrive. We boldly invest in each other’s growth. We focus on creating real value for the world, every day and in everything we do.

Our authentic Montessori Guides are in a class by themselves with their own pedagogy and vocabulary, as evidenced by the incredible environment and community they create. In everything they do and everyday that they do it, Guides approach each child as a unique gemstone who they work with individually to assist in the earliest stages of a young person’s development into an adult who can thrive and create real value for the world.
