My son just graduated 8th grade from Summit-Questa Montessori School and I couldn’t be more proud, thankful & prepared for high school! My son got an exceptional education, his growth was amazing to watch unfold in this kind, loving & supportive community! I never had the privilige to attend a private or a Montessori school, but I see the difference and I am so thankful my son did! Thank you Ms. Judy & all your amazing teachers & staff! We will miss you all very much! xoxox

Evans Family

My daughter has been attending this school for a little over two years and I can’t imagine her going to any other school (public or private). She’s grown so much academically, socially and emotionally; I know she loves her school because she looks forward to going every day. She’s made lots of good friends and her teachers are very passionate for their craft. My child is happy and learning which makes me a happy parent.

Welcome to Summit-Questa

Welcome to the Summit-Questa Montessori School website. We are thrilled that you have chosen to glimpse a view of life at Summit-Questa. We are a unique community of Montessori educators, parents, children, and friends dedicated to the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori.

This school originated in 1981 as Summit Private School of Ft. Lauderdale, primarily a Montessori preschool. In 1991 I bought the school and focused on building our Montessori elementary and middle school levels.

Summit-Questa Montessori School is a community of educators, children, parents and extended family committed to the Montessori philosophy. Dr. Maria Montessori, whose life work centered on the care and education of children, so eloquently said, “Within the child lies the fate of the future.”

Summit-Questa assists in developing all aspects of the individual, including the child’s self-creation of who they become. We are located on a beautiful 10-acre campus, with native habitats, edible schoolyard vegetable gardens, butterfly gardens, a wetland preserve, and a brand new gymnasium and pool.
