Wilton Private Schools
Connecticut Friends School (K – 8th)
Connecticut Friends School serves children ages 5-14; grades K-8. Connecticut Friends School teaches children academic and life skills while simultaneously encouraging a permanent and joyful love of learning. While we hold students to high standards of scholarship and classical skill building (spelling, math, grammar), we perceive learning not as a set of principles to be memorized but as a continual process of inquiry.
By fostering cooperation rather than competition among students, CFS creates an atmosphere that celebrates individual differences. Working together, the children learn the joys and challenges of building a community while, at the same time, gaining a sense of their individual uniqueness.

The Montessori School Wilton CT (PK – 8th)
The Montessori School's story begins with Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy's first woman physician and one of the great educators of our century, who founded the Casa de Bambini in Rome in 1907. It is her vision for education that has guided our school for over four decades. Dr. Montessori fervently believed that children have an inner force that inspires them to achieve their goals. When children are given the proper measure of guidance and freedom, this inner force enables them to focus deeply on the task at hand. Montessori children are inspired to learn with wonder and confidence. Our school bears witness to the viability and brilliance of this approach to education.
