The McGuffey Montessori School is located in Oxford, Ohio. When the Miami University Lab School closed in 1983, a handful of staff and parents founded McGuffey Foundation School. Now the McGuffey Montessori School, it is a privately run school, educating students in Preschool through Eighth grade. Innovative Academic Programs, a low student-to-teacher ratio, hands-on exploration and discovery, extensive field trips, and creative contributions from the larger community make the McGuffey learning experience unique, compelling, effective-and fun. At McGuffey Montessori School, you will see solid basic education with a twist: kindergartners doing complex science experiments and interactive science experiments and real-life industrial arts, individual instruction complemented by mixed-grade study partners, and workshops with visiting and resident artists. In class after class, you will find secure academic structure with supported spontaneity.
