“Our daughter is thriving at Bluestem. She looks forward to going to school every morning because she really feels like she belongs to a community, and we can tell she’s developing a life-long love of learning. ”
Montessori Should Be For Everyone!
A core philosophy at Bluestem is that Montessori education should be accessible to everyone. It is our long term goal to never have to turn a family away due to financial need. For the 2022-2023 academic year, Bluestem gave $25,000 in scholarship money.
All money we raise supports our scholarship program and our arts program. Your donation can open the door for a child to learn in a non-traditional creative environment, exploring their interests and learning at their own pace in a way that makes sense for them. You can help ensure that no child is turned away from Bluestem due to economic circumstances or hardship.
Help us keep Montessori education accessible. Thank you in advance for supporting the education of our students and believing in our future!

“Bluestem has provided such a wonderful atmosphere for my self-motivated daughter, as well as my free-spirited son, to thrive in! They enjoy learning in their own individual ways, and I am so thankful that they are able to learn academics, emotional wellness, and community concepts at Bluestem!”

“Bluestem teaches the whole child, which is exactly what we wanted for our son. They focus on life skills, teamwork, art and core subjects. I’m amazed our first grader is adding and subtracting multi-digit sums!”
