Harborlight Montessori

Harborlight Montessori is a Montessori school serving students from prekindergarten through 6th grade in Beverly, MA. The school offers specialized support for students with learning differences and ADD/ADHD, integrating these learners into a child-centered Montessori environment that emphasizes individualized pacing and hands-on learning. With an average class size of 15 students and 65 classroom teachers, Harborlight provides the smaller, structured setting many students with special needs require to thrive.

The Montessori approach at Harborlight focuses on self-directed learning within a carefully prepared classroom, which can be particularly beneficial for students with learning differences, ADHD, and other developmental needs. The school's commitment to meeting each child where they are academically and socially makes it accessible to families seeking an alternative to traditional classroom structures. As the lab school for Montessori Institute – New England, Harborlight benefits from ongoing teacher training and research in developmentally responsive education.

Founded in 1973, Harborlight serves 234 students and offers extended day options. Tuition is $20,000 annually, with rolling admissions. The school also offers summer programming and provides access to a wide range of clubs, sports, and recreational activities designed to build confidence and social skills.
