School Overview

Tucked along the coastal edge of Humboldt County near the wild shores of Manila, Redwood Coast Montessori draws families who want something genuinely different — a K-12 Montessori environment where kids have the rare chance to build on the same educational philosophy from kindergarten all the way through high school. The school ranks among the very best in California, with strong performance across English, math, and science, but its appeal runs deeper than test scores — this is a community for families who value self-directed learning, close teacher relationships, and a slower, nature-connected pace of life that the North Coast practically demands. Manila itself sits on a narrow peninsula between Humboldt Bay and the Pacific, just minutes from Arcata's vibrant town square and the redwood-lined Humboldt State campus, making it a beautiful if wonderfully remote place to grow up.
