What We Value

The mission of Meadow Montessori School is to create and sustain a caring, respectful and safe educational environment to enable each child to realize his or her richest potential for social, ethical and intellectual growth and to become an independent, self-motivated and contributing member of the world community.

  • Delivering a well-rounded, research-informed curriculum with rigorous standards
  • Fostering a lifelong love of learning
  • Embracing diversity and teaching respect for differences while finding common ground
  • Promoting responsibility toward others and the earth
  • Engaging parents, teachers, students, and the wider community

What Makes Us Unique

We respect each child as a unique individual and focus on developing the whole child — social, emotional, intellectual and physical. Our goal is to foster independence and unlock every child’s potential through an environment that inspires curiosity and self-formation.

We model and teach values of respect, equity, justice and responsibility, preparing students for leadership and global citizenship. Diversity and inclusion are central to our admissions, hiring, and community practices, ensuring a future-forward education for all.

Our School Community

We are more than a Montessori school — we blend Montessorian philosophy with the B.C. curriculum in creative, engaging ways. Our approach emphasizes real-world, multidisciplinary learning, integrating arts and math wherever possible. By following each child’s interests, we nurture passions and build a foundation for lifelong curiosity.

We embrace: individualized and differentiated learning, early childhood education, support for exceptionalities, social-emotional learning, mindfulness, whole-child development, 21st-century skills, fine arts, project-based learning, values and ethics, empathy, citizenship, global awareness, environmental stewardship, First Peoples Principles of Learning, and an enriched BC curriculum.

Adventure Awaits

Maple Ridge is a haven for nature lovers, offering breathtaking views of mountains, rivers and forests with endless outdoor activities — from hiking and kayaking, to fishing and exploring local artisan markets. The city combines wide-open spaces and a lower cost of living with vibrant cultural events and community charm.

Located just a short commute from Vancouver via the West Coast Express, Maple Ridge gives you the best of both worlds: modern amenities, rich heritage, and a welcoming environment for families and singles alike.
