About Us
We are a private Montessori school in College Station. It is the oldest Montessori school in the College Station area, having served the community since 1984.
We are located on three acres of wooded land allowing children to enjoy nature walks, gardening, and raising chickens. We nurture and promote their cognitive, physical, and socio-emotional development through close interactions with their environment.
Why Aggieland Country School?
Our Mission Statement
The mission of the Aggieland Country School is to provide a carefully planned, stimulating Montessori environment which will help children develop within themselves the foundation for a lifetime of learning, thinking, and living. We are a child-centered community of teachers and caregivers that honors individuality and encourages respect for one another and oneself. We believe that the deep commitment and dedication of our small community, which is made up of our school’s children, parents, and staff members, is vital in the fulfillment of this mission.
