About Northwood Montessori School

A local group of parents, convinced that a Montessori education is the best available for children, founded Northwood Montessori School in 1975. Established as a non-profit educational organization, Northwood is the oldest AMI associated school in the FM 1960 area.

Providing children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 6 1/2 with a safe, stable environment which enables them to develop self-confidence, independence, inner discipline and a love for learning is the school's purpose.

Here, each child progresses through an individualized program consisting of language development, reading, math skills, botany, geography, art, music and movement. Our proven teaching methods and exceptional materials are designed to involve the whole child in the learning process.

Beautifully wooded, spacious grounds surround Northwood's three buildings. Chosen for its natural beauty, quiet environment and the opportunity for observation of birds and other animals, the school site is conveniently located for most North and Northwest Houston residents.

Before and after school care is available from 7:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. in our Home Environment Room, where children enjoy a restful, comfortable atmosphere with music, toys, art materials, gymnastics, cooking, gardening and outside play opportunities.

We encourage observations, and visitors are welcome at any time.
