From the young three-year-olds in Pre-elementary to students in eighth grade, the love of learning abounds, and leadership develops. When students graduate, they leave with a foundation that prepares them to move on, to take the things they have learned, and to continue to excel. Pre-elementary (age 3-K) and Lower Elementary (grades 1-3) are multi-grade Montessori classrooms. Upper Elementary (grades 4-5) and Middle School (grades 6-8) transition to single-grade classrooms with a continuance of the Montessori philosophy. Eton School holds accreditation by the American Montessori Society (AMS) and Northwest Association of Independent Schools (NWAIS). Eton School offers childcare before and after school as well as on most holidays/breaks.
