Nightingale Montessori

Nightingale Montessori is a non-profit, nonsectarian private school in Springfield, OH, offering programs from toddler through high school. Affiliated with the American Montessori Society, the school provides a specialized learning environment that focuses on individualized education programs (IEPs), special needs support, and developmental assistance. The school's approach is designed to move away from traditional, high-pressure testing models, focusing instead on the unique needs of each child.

The school features small class sizes where instruction is scheduled according to varied levels of ability. This allows for daily assessments of each child's specific challenge level, helping to foster self-confidence and a genuine enthusiasm for learning. All classes are led by certified Montessori teachers and highly qualified assistants who are trained to provide therapeutic services and specialized developmental support within the classroom setting.

Nightingale Montessori serves a diverse student body and is a member of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). With a student population of approximately 150 students and 13 classroom teachers, the school offers a personalized academic experience. Admissions are handled on a rolling basis, and the school's long-standing history in the Springfield area includes serving as an internship site for local universities.
