Approaching Adulthood: When Learning Goes Beyond Classrooms
A critical time for embracing real-world challenges and global community awareness.
The chief need for children at this stage is a bridge between the academic environment and real-world experiences. As they approach adulthood, they need to develop critical thinking skills, an understanding of societal structures (like economics and civic responsibilities), and a sense of global community. They also need more complex challenges and opportunities for self-directed learning and practical skills application.

About Our Secondary Classroom
VMS is proud to partner with Bridgemont International School, a Montessori secondary program offering a dynamic online academic experience for adolescents ages 12–18. Through this partnership, Bridgemont provides a flexible structure that allows our students to pursue high-quality academics framed by Dr. Montessori’s principles with Montessori-trained teachers while continuing their hands-on learning and connection to our local school community.
This collaboration gives our students the opportunity to be part of a global Montessori classroom while remaining grounded in the relationships, rhythms, and real-life experiences that make our school unique.
Our Students join live online multi-aged, small-group, interactive courses in classes at their developmental level and a wide range of electives, all guided by trained, secondary-level Montessori educators. By coupling the benefits of an online and in-person education our Secondary Program provides our students with access to first class educators and a social environment in which they can thrive!
