About Us
About Walnut Farm Montessori
Founded in 1991, Walnut Farm welcomes children ages 18 months to 12 years from diverse backgrounds, abilities, religions, and cultures. Our school community includes families from Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri.
Walnut Farm Montessori School is the first American Montessori Society accredited school in the state of Arkansas. In addition to a full Montessori curriculum, WFMS provides a variety of prepared learning environments, enrichment programs, and activities to our students:
- Our toddler communities have outdoor areas where children may choose lessons and play in spaces suited for their developmental needs. Spanish and Music specialists visit to offer engaging moments of learning through songs, fingerplays and books.
- Our primary students enjoy Spanish, Art, and Music instruction, as well as an outdoor classroom environment rich in nature lesson and gross motor activities.
- Elementary students enjoy Spanish, P.E., Naturalists, Art and Music classes. In addition, our elementary students participate in monthly trips in our region to enhance their classroom studies and appreciation of the arts. Our elementary backyard has a large, terraced patio where the students often choose to work or enjoy an outdoor lunch. They have a large green house for additional learning, a labyrinth to walk mindfully, and a Gaga pit for vigorous play.
