Bridge City Montessori School

Our families tell us that we are among Portland’s finest early education programs. We are confident that we can meet, if not exceed, all of your childcare needs. The pursuit of knowledge is at the heart of Bridge City Montessori School. Our students are filled with excitement and wonder as we encourage them to explore their interests, experience different forms of art, challenge students by adding academically enriching aspects to think in new ways and participate in their own community.

Every month we encompass world studies that engage us to celebrate all cultures and differences. When a culture of love and acceptance is cultivated, there’s no telling where it’s impact will end!
