Enlightened Journey Montessori K-8

Enlightened Journey Montessori is new privately owned, non-profit school located in Rancho Santa Margarita, uniquely designed to grow with and follow your child’s educational journey. We believe that education should be tailored to meet the needs of your child, and not the other way around. Run by teachers who are experienced and Montessori trained, our goal is to meet every child where they are at educationally and emotionally.

We believe in hands on learning!

Our curriculum encourages learning through manipulatives and is self paced. We will never move a child a head who is not ready, or let a child get bored who has already mastered a technique.

With multiple ways to learn, you can rest assured that your child will find a technique that connects with their method of learning.
