CARE-UH-VOLLEY n. The Birthplace of Maria Montessori, meaning "Valley of Light"
At Chiaravalle every year is a fraction of your journey
We know every big dream begins with a small step. And plenty of opportunity to practice, take risks and make mistakes. Learn more about the compassionate, inquisitive learners who grow with our transformative school.

Chiaravalle did not teach us what to learn, but how to learn. It didn’t tell us what rules to follow, but to make them for ourselves. Most of all, it didn’t give us a set path, it had us create our own.

My children are learning how to be citizens of the world: how to care about their fellow humans, how to resolve conflicts without violence, and how important it is to help those in need.

Constructing a Food Computer with the MIT OpenAG Project

Chiaravalle Montessori Middle School students are building a Food Computer as part of the MIT OpenAg project. Food Computers, the brainchild of Caleb Harper of MIT are small-scale open source environments designed to encourage discovery-based learning in biology, botany, environment, programming, and engineering. The OpenAg program invites students to create their own climate recipes and to adjust, adapt and hack the system.
