Urban Montessori is a tuition-free TK-8 public charter school located in Oakland. Inspired by the teachings of Maria Montessori, combined with Design Thinking and Arts Integration, our school offers a unique and comprehensive approach to education. At Urban Montessori, we prioritize inclusion and diversity, striving to create a school community that reflects the racial and socioeconomic diversity of Oakland.

We believe in maintaining a respectful environment where all students can thrive, and where differences are celebrated and valued. Through constant dialogue and hard work, we foster a safe and open space for learning, acknowledging and challenging biases, and discussing power and privilege. Our dedicated staff, experienced in Montessori education, provides a nurturing and stimulating learning environment for students.

We encourage families who share our dedication to join our community. Urban Montessori is authorized by the Alameda County Board of Education. Connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, or email to learn more about our mission and programs
