“Choice Time is important because it re-energizes us to learn something new and it gives us new ideas. It exercises our hands.”
Liam, second grade
“We are publishing our own books and writing about topics we choose.”
Kyle, first grade
“We are studying plants in science. We planted our own seeds and we are observing how they grow. We are learning that each part of the plant has an important job that
helps the plant live.”
Ryan, primer grado
“In Social Studies we are learning about types of places in the world, such as the desert. The desert is very dry and very hot. Many snakes live there. Most plants cannot live in the desert. Cacti live in the desert because they get water from way below the sand.”

Our school is sustained by donations to our scholarship fund. Over one-third of our students are on financial aid. This year we have depleted our fund. With tuition going up for next year, we need to be prepared to support all families at the levels they need in order to continue to attend our school.
Your donations to our scholarship fund allow us to retain quality teachers, as well as to buy books and supplies. Monteverde Friends School is grateful to our broad base of donors who enable us to provide a high quality education to all eligible students regardless of their ability to pay.
