Santa Cruz Montessori is a private, non-profit school located on two beautiful campuses in Aptos, California. We serve children from 18 months to 14 years, and foster a community of self discovery, responsibility and belonging. Established in 1964 by a group of local Santa Cruz parents looking for Montessori education for their children, we are proud to celebrate our 60th year providing quality Montessori education for our community. As a Montessori learning community, we inspire lifelong learning and a peaceful world by nurturing the natural development of the whole child.
