See those noted with a "MPro"  icon? Those schools have made a commitment to Montessori thriving in Minnesota by becoming members of the Minnesota Montessori Network.  Soon you will also find additional helpful information about these schools when you hover over them and may also find interesting photos from their environments in the slideshow above.
​Please understand that this may not be a complete list of all Montessori schools in the state, despite our best efforts to identify all of them.  If you find any school not listed, please notify us at info@mnmn.org.

As a service to the community in Minnesota, the Minnesota Montessori Network provides this comprehensive list of the ~200 self-identified Montessori schools in Minnesota. We encourage all families to observe at several Montessori schools to find a school that best fits their needs.
IS THIS A "REAL" MONTESSORI SCHOOL?
We get this question a lot.  So often that our partner, MPPI, helped us bring you a resource to answer it!  There is not a single answer of a school that is "right" for every family.   There is no "Best School" in any area.  There are, however, elements that define a successful Montessori implementation.  What are they?

The Montessori name is not protected by a trademark.  Any entity can use the name.  The American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Association Montessori International (AMI) cooperatively defined fundamental elements necessary for an "authentic Montessori school", published by MPPI as the MONTESSORI ESSENTIALS.   They concluded it is "critical that all of these elements be present in order for the Montessori approach to be successfully implemented". (click the icon below to get the list)

MNMN encourages families to bring this document with them to their observations at schools of interest to their family and discuss with school leaders how the school has implemented these elements.
