Here, in addition to the strong academic core, your child will develop his passion in technology, science, visual and performing arts, language and physical education. He will learn at his own pace, with an educational plan tailored perfectly to him.

Meet Miss Sarah
Early Childhood Teacher
Sarah Creese attended the Andover (MA) School of Montessori as a child and has fond memories of the warmth and community of the Montessori classroom. She was eager to recreate those same feelings as a teacher and was drawn back to Montessori after teaching in a traditional school for several years. She loves teaching and says it can never be boring, because you make new friends to learn with every year! Sarah graduated from Wheaton College with a BA in English and completed her Montessori training at the Northeast Montessori Institute. In her spare time, she enjoys reading mystery and fantasy books and spending time with her best friends. Her favorite color is pink! #snhma
Today's temperatures are letting us know that spring is right around the corner. Mr M and Ms Becky partnered to share an overview of the upcoming spring solstice with our Early Childhood and Elementary students. #snhma
Meet Ms Heather!
Infant Teacher
Heather was drawn to the Montessori approach when introduced to the method in a couple of Early Childhood classes. Montessori feels like a great fit for her because she loves learning from and experiencing nature: in her free time she enjoys being outdoors; hiking, kayaking, swimming, and taking nature walks. Heather has worked with infants and toddlers for several years and feels that nothing else would truly fulfill her spirit. She says that being connected to infants and understanding their needs is like an art to her, and feels that it is her duty to assist each child in her care by observing them and being completely mindful of their needs. Heather also loves doing arts and crafts, and spending time with her daughter and their pets! #snhma
Meet Ms Emma!
Applied Learning Instructor,
Art Teacher
Emma Bivona has a History degree from the University of New Hampshire and extensive experience as both an Arts and Crafts Counselor and the Head of the Leadership Team at an outdoor summer camp in Rhode Island. Emma strongly believes that art enhances the human experience, and that the ability to visually express ideas allows us to share joy, spark imagination, cope with loss, and honor loved ones. She knows that the ability to visually express information is a powerful communication tool for adults and children alike, and believes that Art Education is an integral part of a child’s education. When she’s not teaching art, you can find her tending to her vast collection of house plants! #snhma #nhsal
