Nightingale, a non-profit independent Charter School, provides a strong foundation for learning & discovery to students from infancy through high school. All classes are directed by certified American Montessori Society teachers.
The Founding Mission of Nightingale Montessori: To Model the Value of World Peace by Celebrating Diversity in the Classroom, Empowering Self-Realization, and by Practicing Responsible World Citizenship and Earth Stewardship.
In 1978, Nightingale embarked on a pioneering vision to meet the diverse needs of Springfield families. We are deeply committed to implementing the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori as a paradigm shift in traditional education and as a model for educational reform.
The school showcases a model learning environment that treasures the unique worth of every child and invites students to explore their full creative and intellectual potential. We offer an educational method that nourishes self-motivation, inspires reverence for life, and teaches self-discipline necessary for responsible world citizenship. The current school population is 165 coming from 21 school districts in the region. The school maintains a student-teacher ratio of 4:1 enabling teachers to tailor the learing experience uniquely to each student's inborn cognitive traits. Success is measured by the child’s continuing enthusiasm for learning.
To remain true to our founding mission and offer Springfield families the benefit of Nightingale’s innovative programs, we have transitioned to a more spacious facility in North Springfield. The versatile multi-pod architectural design of our prairie-style school building – its lofty ceilings and soaring wood beams, its sunny workspaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, its sweeping views of our woodland campus – provides the perfect habitat for Montessori learning.
The ideal time to enroll in a Montessori Education is between the ages of 3 to 6 years.
