Welcome to The World Learner School

Experiential Collaborative Learning Located in Chaska, Minnesota, our Montessori Charter Elementary and Middle School is dedicated to empowering our students to be well-rounded and socially responsible.

"The essence of independence is to be able to do something for one's self.

Adults work to finish a task, but the child works in order to grow,

and is working to create the adult, the person that is to be."

- Maria Montessori

The World Learner School is a public Montessori charter school (tuition free) serving elementary and middle school levels that offers:

• Multi-level Classrooms
• Individualized and Group Lessons
• Hands-on Montessori Materials

The World Learner School´s mission is to create a school that supports an experiential collaborative learning (Montessori) program that empowers children to unfold their full potential as whole and unique persons in classroom, local and world communities.

Children with varying academic abilities, learning styles and challenges complement each other in a multi-age classroom designed to promote cooperative learning. The World Learner School continues Dr. Maria Montessori´s work in development psychology and education, incorporating the work of others in these fields while adapting to the needs of the children in the twenty-first century.
