As the new Head of School, it is my pleasure to welcome you to a vibrant and nurturing learning community where children are known, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. At Montessori School of Mahoning Valley, we follow the time-tested Montessori philosophy—believing that every child is naturally curious, capable, and eager to learn. Our dedicated faculty guide students with respect and intention, helping them grow into confident, compassionate, and independent thinkers.

Here, learning is more than academic—it’s a holistic journey. In carefully prepared environments, students explore at their own pace, make meaningful connections across disciplines, and develop skills that will serve them for life: from social-emotional intelligence to executive functioning. Whether your child is just beginning their educational journey or preparing for their next big step, MSMV is committed to fostering a strong foundation for lifelong success and responsible global citizenship.

I warmly invite you to visit our campus, observe our classrooms in action, and experience firsthand the joy, purpose, and possibility that define our school community. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing all that makes MSMV a remarkable place for children to grow and thrive.

Warmly,

Shannon Mathie
