"We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry."

Welcome to the Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School website! ​

​​Whether you are looking for a preschool to jump start your child’s education or an alternative to traditional elementary or middle school that provides more individualized, holistic education, we invite you to "come on in" and explore all that Montessori has to offer children ages 6 weeks to 15 years old. Our school was founded by families devoted to the best education possible and through their research, Montessori was by far the best academic and philosophical choice for their children.
In addition, AGBMS provides education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing using cued speech with the primary goal of improving reading comprehension and to promote literacy. Cued Speech provides 100% visual access to the sounds of spoken language, allowing the deaf child to be able to internalize a phonemic model of language naturally in much the same way as a hearing peer. This mode of communication provides access to accents, dialects, rhymes, and fun or nonsense words and can be used with any language.
Alexander Graham Bell Montessori School has achieved multiple accreditations and is a private nonpublic school which is an Illinois State Board of Education Registered and Recognized school. And, AGBMS has received the Gold Circle of Quality from ExceleRate Illinois.
AGBMS is located in Wheeling, IL at the corner of Palatine Rd and Wolf Rd. It is conveniently located for all surrounding communities such as, Prospect Heights, Des Plaines, Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, Northbrook, Deerfield and more. It provides opportunities for interns from various colleges and universities as well as Montessori Teacher Training institutions to receive the hands-on training required for aspiring teachers in the field of early childhood, elementary and middle school. I invite you to 'come on in' and take a look around and visit our classrooms where the children learn to work and love to learn; where the Montessori method is the ideal and the activities that the children involve themselves in makes for an ideal environment for growing and thriving!

"Being able to choose the right school for a child is a very important and impactful choice in a person's life. I am beyond grateful that my parents chose to send me here for the last 9 years" - Kaitlyn M -
