About

Our Vision: Nokomis Montessori South students will be independent, yet collaborative learners who will contribute positively to their communities.

Teachers help students choose their work in carefully prepared, peaceful environments; students use beautifully designed hands-on materials to practice and understand skills and concepts. Teachers have both a teaching license and a Montessori certification. They use the Montessori philosophy to guide instruction.
