Arcadia Montessori

Arcadia Montessori - Tacoma as been in operation since 1974. In 2009 the owner, Carmela Micheli, took over an existing Montessori school in Gig Harbor and renamed it Arcadia Montessori - Gig Harbor. Carmela's vision is to promote a safe, peaceful, and environmentally friendly atmosphere. We teach the importance of thoughtful communication and respect.

At both locations we provide vast outdoor play areas allowing children to play and learn vital skills outside. With a low student to teacher ratio, we ensure every child gets care and nurturing he or she needs to thrive. We also build a sense of community by involving the children in annual fund-raising projects for global or local causes.
