Welcome to Childpeace Montessori School!

Celebrating 33 years of service to children, Childpeace offers a unique urban Montessori experience at our main campus in NW Portland and an intergenerational program at our SE Portland satellite classroom. Our 300 students, toddlers through 9th grade, enjoy rich Montessori educational environments as well as access to an abundance of learning opportunities in our downtown community. We hope you enjoy your visit through our site and that you will contact us for further information.

An Introduction to Montessori Education is held on the first or last Monday of most months. If you would like to get an overview of the Montessori educational approach and see our classroom environments, we encourage you to come. Please email or call to let us know you are coming.

Upcoming dates:
March 29, 9:30 a.m.
April 26, 5:30 p.m.
May 24th, 9:30 - 10:30 a.m.
June 28th, 5:30 p.m.

Coming to an Introduction is not a part of our enrollment process; a Wait List contract is only offered at a Program Tour, which focuses on your child's age group and seeing the classes in process. If you  have not yet been on a tour of our program, please be patient! We will invite you on a tour once we see there is a possibility of future enrollment for someone your child's age and gender. Hopefully your attendance at an  Introduction to Montessori Education will help you clarify if Montessori education would be a good fit for your family.
