Evergreen School

Mission Statement

Evergreen School is committed to a learning community where everyone can feel safe and be
seen for who they truly are, where essential humanity and that of others shines through,
where we are empowered to realize our fullest intellectual, emotional, and spiritual potentials.
We want our children to learn to think, to love peace, and have a passion for self-chosen work
done well, to respect and celebrate the individual spirit within all people of all ages, to value
life, and to continue to love to learn.

Respect is at the core of Montessori philosophy: respect for each individual, respect for life,
and respect for the environment. Such respect, especially for each individual child, sets the
stage for trusting relationships; trust is essential for growth and learning to take place.
