Academic Camps
Academic camps are a wonderful way to enhance your child's love of learning while focusing on a specific subject.

Our camp features a unique selection of indoor and outdoor activities and field trips that take advantage of resources in the local area.

Early Learning Institute
The Hacienda campus of Emerson Montessori School is a different kind of school. It shapes strong, competent, self-confident individuals, not students who would rather "follow the crowd." Emerson Montessori takes an innovative approach to classical education. Students progress at their own pace and learners are never pushed beyond their capabilities or held back to wait for others. Larger, flexible classrooms provide students with their own cubicles and computers, as well as small-group and large-group work spaces. The curriculum — built on a Montessori foundation — is designed to develop a complete human being. It includes art, music, Chinese, Spanish, economics and business, physical education, school tasks, and personal development. During the summer, the school is an ideal camp environment to improve student writing, an activity requiring both specific skills and the motivation to improve them. The Write Now! program fosters pride in student work by emphasizing what is valuable about it and how each draft represents an improvement over the previous one.
