History

The Montessori School of Bowling Green was founded in 1980 under the name The Nazarene Montessori School, with half-day programs available for early childhood. A full day option for kindergarten was added in 1986. The school's name was changed in the spring of 1990, to The Montessori School of Bowling Green when the school moved from its church home into leased space at the Greenwood Center. That fall, the elementary and extended-day programs were opened. The school moved into its new facility at 515 Sand Ridge Rd., during the summer of 1992. A Capital Campaign for Phase 2 concluded with the expansion and remodeling of our facilities during the spring and summer of 2000. Nearly 10 acres were donated to the school in 2003, which has facilitated our Phase 3 addition of additional classrooms to house new upper elementary and music classrooms. The school now has a staff which includes the Executive Director, Administrator, Administrative Assistant, AMS Certified Teachers, Paraprofessionals, Before and After School Care Workers, Physical Education, Art, Foreign Language, Band, and Music Instructors, Speech and Intervention Specialists, and Chess & Cross Country coaches.
