West Suburban Montessori is a community committed to providing an exemplary AMI Montessori education to children from birth through adolescence. The highly qualified and AMI Montessori-trained faculty work in collaboration with each child's caregivers and the local Oak Park/River Forest community to support the physical, intellectual, and emotional development of each child, both in and out of the classroom.
At West Suburban Montessori School, we believe that a quality Montessori education is an aid to life, and that in committing to the education of the whole child, we are committing to building a better world for future generations, and, ultimately, a more peaceful world. Each primary and elementary environment is led by a dedicated, AMI-certified guide.

About
Report
For over 30years, hundreds of families have chosen to become a part of our vibrant community. We are accredited by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). AMI was created by Maria Montessori in 1929 to preserve the integrity and standards of her work with children. WSMS was incorporated in 1988 by Mrs. Niranjana Bashyal, a teacher-trainer, with the intention of providing the Oak Park community with a traditional AMI Montessori School.
Academic Programs
Report
Exercises of Practical Life: Direction provided by a Montessori-trained Directress helps the child to coordinate his or her intelligence, will and movement by offering activities which are intelligible to the child, appealing, and manipulative. These activities are called the Exercises of Practical Life and are familiar to the child.
Montessori Education
Report
Our AMI Montessori School embodies the educational principles established by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870- 1952), an Italian physician who dedicated her career to the study of children. She understood that, given the proper environment, children flourish, developing practical and intellectual abilities through individual discovery and exploration of language, math, geography, biology, geometry, art and music.
Admission
Report
The first step in our admissions process is showing parents our school. We schedule group tours monthly and welcome the chance to show prospective parents the school. Once an application has been submitted, Patricia Eggerding, our Head of School will sit down with parents to answer any further questions.
Testimonials
Report
Our family is so grateful for WSMS, a school that cares deeply about fostering every child's love of learning and one where learning really has no bounds. This school is Sofie's community. Yes, Jaime and I participate as much as we can as parents, but not in the same way the children do. As is part of the design of the Montessori education, WSMS is really the children's community.
