Hermosa Montessori School

Tucson, Az. Since 1978.

Welcome to Hermosa Montessori School

''To consider the school as a place where instruction is given is one point of view. But to consider the school as a preparation for life is another. In the latter case the school must satisfy all the needs of life''
-Maria Montessori


Hermosa Montessori is a school community of lifelong learners that integrates Montessori education with Arizona Academic Standards to foster self-motivated, moral, social and environmentally responsible individuals.




Hermosa Montessori School is unique. Founded in 1978, it is a private, locally owned school for preschool and a tuition free public charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade students. We have a distinctive Tucson location especially chosen for its beauty.


Hermosa is located on 16 acres within the Tanque Verde Valley, near Fort Lowell and Soldier Trail. The natural desert areas provide a perfect setting for the children to experience and learn about the world of nature. We think that our kids deserve a protected, beautiful, and safe environment in which to learn and play each day.
