About North Shoreview Montessori

North Shoreview Montessori is a public magnet school in San Mateo and part of a district Montessori program that began in 1975, when our school district opened one of the nation's first Montessori classrooms in a public school. We offer preschool, elementary, and middle school programs on Cypress Avenue, and we are a member of the American Montessori Society.

Our classrooms are prepared environments with sequential, self-correcting materials, where students make limited choices about their work and time while meeting California's academic standards. We emphasize language arts, mathematics, and cultural studies that combine history, geography, zoology, and botany. We were named a California Distinguished School in 2013 and 2023 and a Magnet School of Excellence by Magnet Schools of America in 2006.

Each Friday morning, students, staff, and families gather in the gym to say the pledge to the flag and to the Earth and sing songs chosen and led by our middle schoolers. Elementary students research a historical figure for our Historical Timeline each October. Students with IEPs receive district special education services, including the Resource Specialist Program, and counselors work on campus.
