About WHMS
Woodland Hill Montessori School, one of the oldest Montessori schools in the nation, brings the innovative philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori to New York's Capital Region. The century-old Montessori method nurtures a child's natural love of learning and supports each child's journey toward independence, self-actualization, and personal excellence.

Our children are guided by specially certified teachers who use the well-defined integrated Montessori curriculum and beautifully crafted interactive materials to foster individual and cooperative skills in language, mathematics, science, geography, and social studies. Even our youngest children have enriched experiences in algebra, geometry, fine arts, astronomy, botany, zoology, foreign language, history, and physical education. The Montessori approach is internationally famous for the development of each child's creativity, resourcefulness, and potential.
