We are an independent Montessori school in Chicago serving over 500 students and their families, starting at a parent-infant class and up to 8th grade. We are a community of shared values working to fulfill a meaningful mission. NNM faculty, staff and parents strive for an equitable and inclusive school culture through intentional, reflective practices. We work together to challenge all students to think for themselves, pursue their ideas and become real learners for the real world.

At the heart of Montessori philosophy is the belief that every child is an individual with specific needs, identities, talents, and backgrounds. With this philosophy in mind, the school community embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion, with the child at the center of it all. We seek to break down barriers that cause injustice and to equip staff, faculty, families, and students with tools to understand and dismantle injustice.

As a community, NNM seeks to develop cultural humility through embracing and honoring identity, developing a deepened understanding of all members of our School community, and cultivating a School-wide atmosphere of windows and mirrors. Learn more here.
