The Fairhaven School is modeled after the Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, established in 1968. The philosophy behind the school comes from the idea of preparing students for real life through building strong character traits. The school does not provide transportation. The school year runs from September through June. Students ages 5 to 19 attend classes.
Fairhaven offers Play Time for children 3 to 5 and their parents on Tuesdays from 10am to noon at a nominal cost.
The Montessori School of Westminster, situated amid the beautiful hills of Carroll County just north of Westminster, is located in a 14,000 square foot building and serves children ages 2 through 9th grade. This school encourages students to seek knowledge through exploration and investigation in a self-paced, individualized program. Be sure to visit its open houses to tour its facility or schedule an observation to see the difference a Montessori education can make.
