Shrewsbury Montessori School

Welcome to the Shrewsbury Montessori School! The first schooling experience is momentous to shape a child’s relationship to learning for life. At SMS, we know children from 18 months to 12 years old. It has been our passionate expertise to give children a first schooling experience that is nurturing and empowering. We inspire in children a life-long love for learning and teach them the skills to take on the curiosity and confidence to innovate and lead in the classroom and in life.

For almost 50 years, as a premier Montessori school in Central Massachusetts, SMS is accredited by AMS (American Montessori Society) and AISNE (Association of Independent School of New England). Offering lasting education to children from PreK to Grade 6, we prepare our graduates to go on to excel in the finest independent and public schools in Worcester and beyond.
