Bergamot Montessori is a micro-school located in Gasport, NY. We are proud to provide a multi-aged learning environment for the surrounding communities of Lockport, Middleport and Medina. Bergamot Montessori aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high-quality, beautiful learning environments as they follow life's unfolding journey.
An Authentic Montessori School
The Montessori Method emerges from the belief that children are naturally good, peaceful and curious and that in the context of a supportive environment, all children engage instinctively in the work of self-construction. With appropriate freedoms and the right support, children follow their interests to create rich learning experiences, form peaceful communities, and support and learn from one another. We are dedicated to the preparation of environments and ourselves to support the development of children.
An Intentionally Small Community
As an intentionally-small, community embedded learning environment, our school allows us to serve every child and family in deep and meaningful partnership with their teacher leaders.
A Place for All
Bergamot Montessori admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.
We gratefully acknowledge the Haudensaunee people on whose ancestral homelands we gather, as well as the diverse and vibrant Native communities who make their home here today.
