Montessori Learning Pods
Your Montessori learning, together and in person.
Learning Pods bring Quantum Montessori into a small, community-based Learning Home in the San Tan Valley area. Students learn in person with a trained Montessori educator, two, three or five days a week, half-day or full-day.
Pods combine Montessori-guided instruction with collaboration, project work, STEAM, Practical Life, cultural studies, social-emotional learning, movement and creative experiences. Groups may be mixed-age. The academic model stays consistent across schedules: every Pod student follows the Quantum Montessori curriculum and work-plan system.
Every student enrolled in our Learning Pods and in our online part-time (Hybrid) and full-time programs receives a Chromebook managed by Quantum Montessori, set up for Canvas, live classes and safe browsing. We arrange delivery and the device agreement during onboarding.
