Kiva Montessori Charter School was founded in 2014 and currently serves 140 children in grades K-8. Our school provides a foundation in Montessori education augmented with community-based projects, expeditionary learning, and STREAM curriculum enrichment. We strive to meet the needs of the whole child (social, emotional, physical, and intellectual) in strong partnership with families and the community. Our multi-age classrooms allow students opportunities to work within a variety of academic levels and subject areas, independently or in small groups, where independence and self-discipline are fostered. Our school offers a non-traditional educational option to students that promotes personal responsibility, self-motivation, high standards, and a global perspective.
In its tenth year of operation, Kiva Montessori is known for its global perspective with a Montessori inspired approach to academics for meeting the educational needs of the whole child. Located in Cortez, Colorado in the beautiful Four Corners Region where rivers, mountains, mesas, and canyons offer unparalleled access to the outdoors for recreation, sport, enjoyment, and solace with 14,000 peaks in the San Juan Mountains to canyons on the Colorado Plateau. The region is rich in archeological resources, cultural and biological diversity, and farming and ranching heritage. Our community, perhaps the last best place in the intermountain West, honors culture and context.
