Julia Simon

Julia Simon founded Alive Montessori and Private School in 2001, and remains very much the head and hands of the school today. Core principles of the school are that:

- every child is unique and deserving of the best education possible

- every child has an innate desire to learn that must be cultivated, not blunted

- every child has his or her natural interests and strengths

- learning occurs at varying rates and every child learns at his or her own optimum pace

- the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic are important as these still form the foundation

- the goal of education is to give every child the tools to become self-reliant and successful in life

I understand the importance of finding the best school for your child.
