Mission

Building upon the principles of the Montessori philosophy and the International Baccalaureate Programs, Whitby School inspires academic excellence, independence and a passion for learning while motivating our students to confidently take action as contributing members of a diverse global community.

Philosophy & Methodology

By combining the complementary Montessori and IB teaching methodologies along with educational best practices, Whitby endows each student with distinct educational advantages.

As America's oldest Montessori school, Whitby follows the child’s developmental stages to provide the most effective teaching approaches, respecting and encouraging each child's innate curiosity about the world. Furthermore, Whitby’s IB curricular programs of structured inquiry are tailored to the maturity and intellect of the child and develop the fundamentals of the IB learner profile in each student.

The result is Whitby provides each child the tools to succeed academically, socially and emotionally, now and in the future.
