Eagle Peak Montessori

Eagle Peak Montessori is a standout charter school tucked into Walnut Creek, a sun-drenched East Bay city known for its walkable downtown, outdoor trails, and strong sense of community. As Mt. Diablo Unified's only Montessori option serving grades 1–8, it draws families who want something beyond the traditional classroom — kids here move at their own pace through hands-on, self-directed learning, with particularly impressive results in science. It's a natural fit for parents who value independent thinking, mixed-age collaboration, and the kind of school that feels like a genuine community rather than just a building kids pass through each day.
