Arcadia was established in 1975. It originally opened in a store front on South 12th and Proctor where it was purchased by Carmela Micheli. In 1978 we moved to a home on North 12th and Monroe. In 1990 we moved to our present location at 6312 North 30th Street.

At Arcadia we promote a strong peace & environmental curriculum and appreciate the importance of non-violent communication in our classroom as well as the world.

We realize the importance of the children learning & living outdoors. We have created a large garden that the children till, weed, plant, water, harvest and eat from.

Each year the children participate in raising money to donate to a global &/or local cause.

While not all Montessori schools are exactly alike, the American Montessori Society, one of the leading organizations dedicated to setting standards and furthering the Montessori philosophy, has defined the philosophy and practice as follows:

  • The aim of Montessori education is to foster competent, responsible, adaptive citizens who are lifelong learners and problem solvers.
  • Learning occurs in an inquiring, cooperative, nurturing atmosphere. Students increase their own knowledge through self- and teacher-initiated experiences.
  • Learning takes place through the senses. Students learn by manipulating materials and interacting with others. These meaningful experiences are precursors to the abstract understanding of ideas.
  • The individual is considered as a whole. The physical, emotional, social, aesthetic, spiritual, and cognitive needs and interests are inseparable and equally important.
  • Respect and caring attitudes for oneself, others, the environment, and all life are necessary.
