our campus
After four years in the Jefferson School building in the Central Hillside, Many Rivers Montessori moved to the historic Cobb School building in Woodland in 2018. Located at 110 W. Redwing St and just blocks from Hartley Park, the building supports our enrollment of up to 200+ students, ranging in age from 16 months to 8th grade.
The building features sunny, spacious rooms set up as ideal Montessori learning environments; Toddler and Children’s House rooms that include in-room restrooms, laundry, kitchen work areas and dishwashers; a patio for each Children’s House room; dedicated Toddler and Children’s House outdoor play spaces; dedicated rooms for Spanish and Art, a fully-accessible elevator, and ample parking. There is also a gym and a makers space. In Summer 2023, the school embarked on a $1 million expansion to create a second Upper Elementary classroom, a roof garden, and a covered outdoor classroom space.
