About

Montessori preschool and kindergarten at 8745 La Jolla Scenic Dr N in La Jolla, CA 92037, offering a full Montessori curriculum for children ages two through six on a quiet campus along the La Jolla Scenic Drive corridor. Beth Montessori on Gilman Dr serves the UCSD-adjacent community with a similar Montessori program, and families in the northern 92037 compare both campuses before enrolling. La Jolla Montessori School provides multi-age classrooms where students learn through self-directed exploration of hands-on Montessori materials, progressing at their individual pace under the guidance of credentialed Montessori instructors. Curriculum areas include practical life, sensorial, mathematics, language arts, cultural studies, science, and outdoor nature exploration. The hillside campus features gardens, play areas, and natural surroundings that extend learning beyond the classroom. Graduates ready for an independent elementary program transition to Gillispie School on Girard Ave or The Children's School on Torrey Pines Ln.
