Discover Summerland Montessori School — Where Every Child Thrives

Recognized by Okanagan Life Magazine as the Best Independent School in the South Okanagan, Summerland Montessori School (SMS) is dedicated to fostering a lifelong love of learning through authentic Montessori philosophy and proven educational practices.

Our intentionally small class sizes ensure personalized attention, meaningful teacher–student relationships, and individualized learning plans that support each child’s unique potential. The SMS curriculum meets or exceeds all Ministry of Education standards, offering a rich, well-rounded foundation across all subject areas.

Daily French Immersion and dynamic physical education programs further enrich the student experience—earning consistent praise from both parents and students for their depth, engagement, and joy.
