Montessori de Santa Cruz Public Charter School is a free public school located in the heart of Tubac, Arizona. Since the late 1800s there has been a school located in Tubac and it is an honor for Montessori de Santa Cruz to continue that tradition.

Montessori is a philosophy with the fundamental tenet that a child learns best within a social environment which supports each individual�s unique development. The environment contains specially designed manipulative materials for development that invite children to engage in learning activities.

Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children in a Montessori classroom learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating concentration, motivation, self discipline and a love of learning.

Thanks to the community, through the Arizona State Extra Curricular Tax Credit Program (ECA), the school enhances education with music, and gardening instruction. Many students play the violin and all Kindergarten students take violin classes as part of their first year of education. Montessori de Santa Cruz students tend an organic garden complete with traditional sunken vegetable beds.

Montessori de Santa Cruz Charter School is proud to be a part of Tubac, the place �where art and history meet." For more information call (520) 398-0536 or visit us on the web.

Starting October 2011, Polly Schlitz will be offering on-going Theatre & Acting Workshops for Kids at the Community Performing Arts Center in Green Valley. Included are children ages 11-18 and ages 6-10.

Dates & times TBA
