Kiva Montessori Charter School was founded in 2014 and currently serves 135 children in grades K-8. Our school provides a foundation in Montessori education augmented with community-based projects, expeditionary learning, and STEAM curriculum enrichment. We strive to meet the needs of the whole child (social, emotional, physical, and intellectual) in strong partnership with families and the community. Our multi-age classrooms allow students opportunities to work within a variety of academic levels and subject areas, independently or in small groups, where independence and self-discipline are fostered. Our school offers a non-traditional educational option to families that promotes personal responsibility, self-motivation, high standards, and a global perspective.
In its ninth year of operation, Kiva Montessori is known for its flexibility in meeting the needs of the whole child with academic rigor that is unmatched in the region. Despite the challenges presented by COVID-19, Kiva students outpaced others in the region, in some cases growing academically at nearly twice the pace of other students. In addition, Phase II (of four) is near completion as our beautiful new campus is being developed to accommodate the growing number of students whose families are choosing success and stability.
Children's Kiva Montessori Charter School is located in Cortez, Colorado in the beautiful Four Corners Region where rivers, mountains, mesas, and canyons offer unparalleled access to the outdoors for recreation, sport, enjoyment, and solace from 14,000 peaks in the San Juan Mountains to canyons on the Colorado Plateau. The region is rich in archeological resources, cultural and biological diversity, and farming and ranching heritage. Our community, perhaps the last, best place in the intermountain West, honors culture and context.
