The mission at Aidan Montessori School is to create and sustain an optimum Montessori educational environment to enable each child to realize his or her richest potential for learning and to become an independent, self-motivated and contributing member of the world community.

This mission is best accomplished by:
• Providing a curriculum adhering to rigorous Montessori standards, informed by current thinking and research on child development and learning;
• Fostering a love of learning;
• Embracing a diverse student body in
which students experience and learn to respect ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences and to seek and identify common ground;
• Recognizing that personal growth involves responsibility toward others and toward the earth; and
• Facilitating the involvement of parents, teachers, students and the larger community.
