Since 1982, Rose Hall has been providing an excellent Montessori education in the heart of the Village of Wilmette.
Housed in beautiful classrooms and staffed by beloved teachers who have been at the school for many years, our curriculum is based on the excellent Montessori philosophy and enriched by our parent community.
Rose Hall is a wonderful place for children and their families.
From 12 months to six years old, children at Rose Hall have so many wonderful experiences: from learning colors names to counting to 9,999, from struggling to zip a coat to being able to help the younger children learn to zip, from matching simple pictures to creating a map of the continents.
There is always something interesting to learn and to share with your friends.
A member of the American Montessori Society, The Association of Illinois Montessori Schools, and The Alliance for Early Childhood, and licensed by the State of Illinois, Rose Hall is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of very dedicated current and former parents.
Our Parent Association provides enriching activities for the children and families throughout the year.
