Overview Pre-Casa/Casa Lower Elementary Upper Elementary/ Middle School Special Children Summer Programs French Immersion Art Classes Community Services   Special Children   At G.V.M.S., we encourage each Directress/Director to have, as full members of their "family", gifted children as well as some children with varied learning differences. Our special "kids" are truly special. They are the ones who consistently teach us the value of courage and determination and children are the best teachers of children. When you watch every child become self-confident, self-reliant and self-directed, you realize the full potential of a Montessori program that is truly based upon the enlightened philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori.
