MOUNTAIN VIEW MONTESSORI CHARTER

Mountain View Montessori Charter is a Title I public charter elementary school that is part of the Victor Elementary school district, located in Victorville, CA with about 209 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 6th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 8 teachers, Mountain View Montessori Charter has a student/teacher ratio of about 26:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Mountain View Montessori Charter, located in Victorville, California, and operating under the Victor Elementary School District (VESD), offers a specialized educational alternative rooted in the Montessori philosophy. Unlike traditional public school settings, the school emphasizes a student-centered approach that fosters independence, self-discipline, and a love for learning. By utilizing multi-age classrooms and hands-on, self-directed work, the school aims to accommodate the unique developmental pace and interests of each child, encouraging students to take an active role in their own academic journey.

As a charter school within the VESD system, Mountain View Montessori integrates the district’s academic standards with the specific pedagogical techniques pioneered by Maria Montessori. The curriculum typically focuses on a holistic development model, balancing core academic subjects like language arts and mathematics with practical life skills, sensorial exploration, and cultural studies. By creating a prepared, organized, and collaborative environment, the school strives to cultivate critical thinkers and lifelong learners who are well-equipped for future educational success.
