Home Guiding Children for 54 Years! Highland Park Montessori School, located in Saint Paul, is a non-profit corporation established in 1963. Ours is the oldest existing Montessori school in Minnesota. Following the principles and philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, the staff at HPMS provides beautiful environments for the children to explore, where their natural curiosity and love for knowledge guides them in their learning. The atmosphere is one of mutual trust and respect, a reverence for life and peace. As trained professionals, the staff serves as guides and facilitators, responding to the needs of the individual and the community. Our Montessori Guides are AMI (Association Montessori Internationale) trained.  Our two Children's Houses have up to 20 children, ages 33 mos. to age 6. The Toddler Community consists of 12 children ranging in age from 16 to 33 months. We admit students of any race, nationality, or ethnic origin. Our teachers do have the authority to choose from the applicants those children who would best balance their class with regards to age and gender. HPMS is open Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The Montessori calendar follows (generally) the St. Paul Public School calendar, with holiday care available on most of the vacation days. We offer a summer program for both Children's House and the Toddler Community. Please refer to the summer program calendar for more information. The school is governed by a board of directors whose members are knowledgeable about Montessori education, or who are otherwise qualified to provide policy and management guidance to the school. Two current parents are members of the board.
