West Hills Montessori School was founded in 1968 with the mission to provide quality Montessori educational experiences for children and families in the Southwest hills of Portland. Beginning in one small classroom, today more than 300 children, ages 3-9, are enrolled at four West Hills campuses throughout the city. You can read more about our history on our Blog.
Central to the Montessori approach is a commitment to the “whole child,” and this remains at the core of our school philosophy. We believe that school should be an extension of home rather than a substitute for it. West Hills Montessori School is your child’s special learning place where a loving and stimulating environment encourages the development of positive attitudes, practical life skills, and critical thinking which are essential to independent growth, intellectual development and creativity.
We are an independent, privately owned, nonsectarian Montessori preschool/kindergarten, lower and upper elementary program. It is our goal that our school reflect the rich diversity of our community as a whole, including various cultures, economic status and individual or special educational needs. We welcome students and staff of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, religion and family constellation to our program and activities.
The school year extends between September and early June, five days per week. The school calendar closely follows Portland Public School. A summer session is offered from mid-June through mid-August at the Vermont Street campus.
