California Montessori Project-San Juan Campuses

California Montessori Project's San Juan Campuses bring a genuinely different approach to elementary education in Carmichael, a quiet, tree-lined suburb just east of Sacramento where families tend to put down roots and stay. The Montessori model here means kids have real agency in their learning — less rigid, more hands-on — which tends to draw parents who want something beyond the traditional classroom experience. Science scores stand out in particular, which makes sense given how well project-based learning lends itself to exploration and discovery.
