FBS Mission
Forest Bluff School
is a small, supportive, and welcoming community, dedicated to warm relationships and close communication between adults.
Our Mission
Our Montessori mission at Forest Bluff School is to guide children in their self-formation from birth through 14 years of age. Self-formation follows universal principles but presents uniquely for each child. It is best achieved in an educational environment that fosters self-discipline and the opportunity to exercise freedom appropriate to the child’s developing sense of responsibility. Skills of strong character are readily observed in the child’s growing respect for others, the environment, and the self.
Academically, a Forest Bluff School education focuses on the child’s skills for discovery and exploration of the physical and abstract world. We believe that this search for understanding—as opposed to the presentation, memorization, and testing of information—is the essence of a meaningful education. It is a lifelong process for each of us.
We encourage our teachers and parents to continue their own personal growth as a means to assist children in their self-development and in their attainment of those virtues important to a civilized and productive society: character, integrity, service, and a passion for life.
"One of the most important decisions parents can make is choosing what type of education their child will have. We chose Forest Bluff because of the nurturing environment the school creates, that fosters confidence through unbiased exploration of the academic, artistic and social skills necessary to succeed in a highly complex society. This school has far exceeded all of our expectations; our 2 year old son loves going to school every day and is absolutely thriving at Forest Bluff!"
