Welcome to McMinnville
Montessori School

McMinnville Montessori School is located in the heart of McMinnville, OR, serving families across Yamhill County. Our mixed-age Montessori classrooms invite children ages 3-12 to learn through purposeful, hands-on experiences at their own pace, building independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Guided by caring, experienced, AMI-certified teachers who get to know each child, we nurture the whole child, from academics and practical life skills to kindness and community. We’re proud to be part of the Willamette Valley community, and we’d love for you to see Montessori in action.

Praise From Our Community

  • “The school is at the very core of our lives in this place, and reflects the values we practice as a family. I honestly can't imagine an alternative for us.”

    Emily Diesburg

  • “MMS has become more of a chosen family than "just" a school. My daughter has been given love, support, and freedom in a safe space to explore, learn, and grow. We would not be experiencing such blossoming confidence and the desire to learn if not for the support and care from the MMS community.

    Bambi Hines

  • “We absolutely love this school! The guides are caring, supportive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The welcoming environment has helped our child thrive both academically and personally. We're grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community and highly recommend it to other families.

    Hannah Estrin

  • "...We've found a welcoming community of like-minded families and see the school fostering a cohort of considerate, caring children who strengthen our community. We know he's developing skills and habits that will serve him throughout his entire life."

    Ben & Emily

  • "Choosing McMinnville Montessori for our daughter has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. From the very beginning, she has been loved, encouraged, and truly seen by her guides. Watching her grow in confidence, independence, and excitement for learning has been such a joy."

    Caitlin Williams

  • "Our son runs into school every morning excited to see his teachers and friends. From the first week, he has felt completely comfortable with every member of the staff. They know him, they care about him, and it shows in how confident he is.

    Jordan Blumer

  • We decided to send our child to McMinnville Montessori School because of our family’s long history with the school. …we came for the legacy but stayed for the experience. One year in and our child is already excited about progressing into the elementary class where they get to do “even harder” work.
