About the company

Steeplechase Academy is a modified-Montessori private preschool and elementary school that blends the child-centered philosophy of Montessori education with the structure and enrichment of a traditional academic program. We are committed to nurturing the whole child—academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively—within a warm, respectful, and engaging learning environment.

At the heart of our program is the belief that children learn best through purposeful exploration, hands-on experiences, and meaningful choice. Inspired by the work of Maria Montessori, our classrooms are thoughtfully prepared to encourage independence, concentration, and a love of learning. Students are guided to take ownership of their education while developing responsibility, confidence, and intrinsic motivation.
