ORLA Montessori

ORLA Montessori at Olympia Regional Learning Academy

The Montessori philosophy values the natural curiosity and ability for learning present within each child. Students learn responsibility, time management, and social skills along with academics within a highly structured, prepared learning environment.


Lessons are given individually or in small groups of children with similar interests, skills or academic needs. Students work at their own pace and follow their own interests throughout the sequential curriculum designed to help every individual reach his or her full potential. Students are grouped into multiage classrooms. Younger students are inspired by, and imitate, the work of the older children who act as role models. Older students gain experience and confidence in leadership.
