Like all Hope
Montessori Academy schools, the Creve Coeur campus provides your
child opportunities for "hands-on" learning. Children
are free to learn and progress at their own pace. Our program encourages
independence, self-assurance, self-motivation, respect for others
and a love of learning — positive characteristics of success
that your child will draw upon over a lifetime.
The Creve Coeur
campus is the first Montessori school opened by Hope. By design,
our classrooms have a warm, “home-like feel” to enhance
learning and exploration. Outside, you’ll find the campus
is tucked away just off North Mason Road. The school is surrounded
by a beautiful wooded area and is adjacent to Millennium Park, often
visited by Hope classes.
The campus is
a half-mile south of Olive Boulevard, and is less than two miles
west of I-270.
