In selecting a school for your child, you're faced with many choices. What's the right environment for your son or daughter? What's the best curriculum? What school will be the best fit?

At Whitby School, we understand exactly how important these questions are, and we're passionate about helping you uncover the answers.

Whitby School is a private school for children 18 months through grade 8. Located on a scenic 24-acre campus in the backcountry of Greenwich, Connecticut, Whitby was founded in 1958 as the first American Montessori School and remains a leader in Montessori Education.

What does this mean? Simply that our approach to education is based on Wisdom, Respect, and Spirit: a deep, abiding respect for each individual child and his or her social, emotional, and intellectual growth.

Talk to students and parents and you'll see. Whitby School infuses students with the joy of learning. Our outstanding teachers, small student-faculty ratio, and robust academic program lay a solid foundation for life-long learning and future academic success.

At Whitby School there is a difference!

Whitby School, the flagship school of AMS, is accredited by the Connecticut Association of Independent Schools and the American Montessori Society, and is a member of the Educational Records Bureau, the Parents League and the REACH Prep program.
