The Heart of SouthBridge

Child-Led Learning, Guided by Faith

Every child is uniquely created by God, and our curriculum honors that individuality. We follow the Montessori philosophy of “following the child,” meeting students where they are in reading, math, and all subjects—empowering them to grow at their own pace while nurturing resilience, perseverance, and a love for learning.

Whole-Child Curriculum

Our program integrates core academics—language arts, math, science, history, and geography—with Bible stories, hands-on exploration, and practical life skills. Children learn to think critically, discover the world, and build strong foundations for both academic achievement and character development.

Partnership with Families

We believe education works best when home and school are connected. Our approach encourages active parent involvement, regular communication, and collaborative support, so families can reinforce and celebrate learning at home, helping every child thrive both in the classroom and beyond.

Celebrating Mistakes & Growth

We teach children that mistakes are a natural and valuable part of learning. By creating a safe environment to try, reflect, and try again, students develop confidence, grit, and a mindset for lifelong growth—preparing them to become amazing adults rooted in faith and capable of meeting life’s challenges.

Building Lifelong Friendships

We foster an environment where children form meaningful friendships, learn to collaborate, and grow together in kindness and respect. Our community is a place where every student belongs and relationships are rooted in Christian love.

Inspiring Curiosity and Wonder

We encourage every child to ask questions, explore new ideas, and see God’s handiwork in the world around them. Through hands-on learning and discovery, students develop a deep sense of curiosity that fuels both academic and spiritual growth.

Empowering Families as Partners

We believe that parents are a vital part of each child’s journey. Our goal is to support, equip, and celebrate families with open communication, helpful resources, and opportunities for involvement—making sure everyone feels connected and valued all year long.

Frequently Asked Admissions Questions

What ages and grades do you serve?

We welcome children in kindergarten through sixth grade. Our multi-age classrooms are thoughtfully designed to nurture each student’s growth, no matter where they are on their learning journey.

What is Montessori education?

Montessori education is a proven, child-centered approach that encourages independence, curiosity, and a love of learning. In our classrooms, students explore hands-on materials, work at their own pace, and are guided by experienced teachers who support both academic and personal growth.

How does faith fit into the curriculum?

Faith is gently woven into our daily routines and classroom culture. Children engage with stories, reflections, and values that help them develop kindness, empathy, and a strong moral foundation in a welcoming environment.

When should I apply for enrollment?

We recommend submitting your application as early as possible, as spots can fill quickly. Enrollment is reviewed on a rolling basis, and we’re happy to answer your questions at any stage of the process.

What happens after I submit my application?

Once you submit your form, our directors will contact you to schedule a meeting. This is an opportunity for us to get to know your family, discuss your child’s needs, and ensure Southbridge is the best fit for your goals.

Are there tuition or registration fees?

Yes, there is a $300 registration fee to secure your child’s spot for the year. Tuition is $5,000 per child, which covers all instructional materials, classroom resources, and participation in school-wide activities. We’ll provide payment schedules and information about any available financial support during the enrollment process.

Do I need to purchase school supplies for my child?

No extra school supply shopping is needed! All classroom materials and supplies are included in your registration fee. We provide everything your child will need for learning at Southbridge, so you can start the school year stress-free and confident that your student is fully equipped.

What if my child has never attended a Montessori school?

No prior Montessori experience is needed! We welcome children from all educational backgrounds and offer plenty of support as new students adjust to our learning environment, routines, and hands-on approach.
