Authentic Montessori learning
for the whole child.
Authentic Montessori education to transform students, themselves, others, and our global communities.
We partner with families to create an intentional and enriching educational journey that honors the whole child.
Lifelong learning begins with us.
Select Education is a private authentic Montessori school serving students in grades 1–6 in the Phoenix area. We are committed to nurturing each child’s curiosity, independence, and sense of responsibility within a caring and structured learning community.
Our classrooms are designed to support deep focus, hands-on exploration, and collaborative learning. Students move through carefully sequenced materials and lessons at an appropriate pace, developing both academic skills and confidence.
We believe that education is not only about mastering content, but about forming character: learning how to work with others, care for the world, and make thoughtful choices. Our teachers partner with families to ensure that each child is seen, known, and supported.
We invite students to see themselves as capable, responsible, and creative learners who can make a difference in their communities.
