Meet Our Staff


At Ghent Montessori School, our teachers are guides. They don’t just instruct, they support your child’s natural curiosity, independence, and love of learning every step of the way.

Get to know us

At Ghent Montessori School, our faculty and staff dedicate their lives to Montessori education, investing their time, talent, and hearts into guiding children through some of the most important years of their development. We don’t just work with children, we work for them. And we do it alongside their families, because we believe the best kind of change begins with one child at a time.

As an accredited school through the International Montessori Council (IMC), we hold ourselves to high standards, and so do our teachers. Every lead teacher has completed rigorous Montessori training at the developmental level they teach. They bring deep knowledge of child and adolescent development, a strong foundation in Montessori philosophy, and a practiced understanding of how to create classroom environments that foster independence, curiosity, and joyful learning.

This is more than a team; it’s a community of committed educators who believe in what they do and in who they serve.
