Welcome to FWM

At the heart of a truly exceptional education is a joy of learning. This is what the children at Fraser Woods Montessori experience each day. We achieve this by cultivating positive and impactful teacher and child relationships while also keeping the mission of the school at the forefront of all we do. What is the outcome? Children who are confident, compassionate, cognitively nimble, and prepared to meet the challenges of a dynamic and ever-changing world.

As you peruse the website and learn about Fraser Woods Montessori, I invite you to come and visit our beautiful campus. We would welcome the opportunity to show you our community at work.
