Discover your child’s other happy place
A Montessori school for children ages 3-12 years old.
Our mission is to inspire students to engage academically and socially every day.
We are committed to providing Will County families access to the benefits of the Montessori method of education. We stress the importance of independence, initiative, responsibility, compassion, and respect. We encourage free movement, choice within carefully crafted limits, and make sure they know their voices are heard.
Why do so many families choose Montessori?
We honor your child’s individuality and focus on curiosity, independence, compassion, collaboration, and critical thinking, preparing him or her to take on the future with confidence, propelled by the gift of self knowledge and a passion for learning.
It is not uncommon to see four-year-olds in our school starting to read, six-year-olds solving multi-digit math problems, and nine-year-olds classifying botanical specimens. Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn.
Our school is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Because children thrive when home and school work in harmony.
"Joliet Montessori School shows how all schools should be. The atmosphere when you walk in is relaxed and welcoming. The classrooms are custom to the age range of the children to make it feel like it’s their room. The staff is open and friendly answering any and all questions no matter who it is."

"We have been a JMS family for over 12 years and, as the resident skeptic when we first arrived there, I cannot recommend JMS and Montessori education enough. I have a straight-A sophomore in an acclaimed public high school AP and honors program as evidence of the phenomenal foundation that JMS provides. I have 2 thoughtful, curious and self-confident grade-schoolers to confirm that the school continues to grow and improve with each passing year. JMS provides the education that our children OUGHT to get."
