Welcome to Countryside Montessori!  Established in August 2002, we are Pasco County's only public charter Montessori school.  We currently serve over 200 students in grades 1 through 6 with an enriched hands-on Montessori curriculum.  Deemed an "A" school for several years, Countryside Montessori instills in our students a life-long love of learning.  More than academics alone, we strive to produce independent, respectful, and well-rounded leaders.   Important to the success of Countryside Montessori is our parent involvement.  We are thankful for our dedicated and supportive parents, who assist us in achieving our goals.   We pride ourselves on being a small community school with an individualized approach to education.  If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us.  We look forward to talking with you!   "We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent." ~ Maria Montessori
