Portrait of Maria Montessori

“Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities.”

~ Maria Montessori

Why High Fidelity Montessori?

The only Montessori accredited school in the State of Utah.

Child Led

Children take the lead in their learning by exploring works that align with their interests and developmental needs. The environment is thoughtfully prepared to encourage independence and curiosity, with the guidance of the guides in the classroom.

Mid-Year Transitions

Mid-year transitions give children the chance to be nurtured and challenged at just the right time, so each child keeps thriving socially, emotionally and cognitively in an environment designed for their next stage of learning.

Spiral Curriculum

Our spiral curriculum connects every level of learning, from infants through elementary. Core concepts are introduced in simple, concrete ways and revisited over time with increasing depth and complexity.

Our Mission

The mission of FMSL is to provide a rich and high-fidelity Montessori educational experience that guides and nurtures the natural unfolding of the whole individual and inspires a lifelong passion for learning and peace.
