About Fiddlehead Montessori

Fiddlehead Montessori is a nonprofit Montessori school in Anacortes for children ages 3 to 12, with classrooms led by certified Montessori teachers. Our Early Childhood classroom opened in 2022 and holds up to 20 children ages 3 to 6 in one mixed-age room, and our Elementary program serves ages 6 to 12 from Anacortes and the Skagit Valley.

Lessons are given individually or in small groups as each child is ready, using hands-on materials in math, language, science, geography and cultural studies. On Wilderness Fridays, students leave campus for hands-on learning in Anacortes forestlands. Elementary students take part in service projects, and technology is used sparingly. Teachers coach children through conflicts instead of using punishment or time-outs.

Early Childhood tuition for 2026-2027 is $12,370 for a full day, or $6,490 for a half-day option open to 3-year-olds. Elementary families pay on a sliding scale based on household income, and need-based scholarships are available. Each summer we run a Montessori day camp for ages 3 to 12 with weekly themes, nature walks and field trips.
