About the School
Fairbanks Montessori School provides a nurturing, child-centered environment where students develop independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning. Our authentic Montessori approach respects each child's natural development and fosters critical thinking, collaboration, and global citizenship. Located in the heart of Alaska, we embrace the unique opportunities our northern environment provides.
Founded in 1985, our school serves as Alaska's premier Montessori institution, combining traditional Montessori principles with innovative approaches that honor our unique Arctic setting. Our mixed-age classrooms create a family-like atmosphere where older children mentor younger ones, fostering leadership and empathy. We believe in developing the whole child - academically, socially, emotionally, and physically - while instilling values of respect, responsibility, and environmental stewardship.
