Wilco Montessori Partners. Who Are We?

Wilco Montessori Partners are parents, educators, and others committed to establishing a Montessori charter school in Williamson County, Texas. This school would be a public school, open to all children, and tuition-free for parents. Our intent is to submit a charter application to the Texas Education Agency in 2015, and, if approved, open our school in Fall 2016. Our work is guided by our Mission, Vision, and Values:

Mission: To provide an exceptional Montessori education to all children and their families, encouraging a lifelong love of learning and active participation in their communities.

Vision: We create a more peaceful world by developing conscientious citizens who approach their world with confidence, creativity, and collaboration.

Values: Diversity, Independence, Joy, Passion, and Respect.
