Mercy Montessori Center, located in East Walnut Hills, will host its annual Fall Open House on Sunday, November 15, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Greater Cincinnati families are invited to explore the campus, connect with experienced faculty, and learn how an individualized Montessori foundation nurtures curiosity, confidence, and belonging in children from Preprimary (age 3) through 8th Grade.
Looking for a school where your child can learn, grow, and thrive? Join Mercy Montessori Center’s Open House and explore a learning environment focused on independence, creativity, leadership, and belonging. Whether you are exploring preschool options or looking for an engaging elementary and junior high experience, Mercy Montessori invites your family to discover the magic of Mercy Montessori.
As Cincinnati’s first Montessori school, Mercy has nurtured curious, confident, and compassionate lifelong learners for over 50 years. Tucked into the scenic, rolling hills of East Walnut Hills, the campus offers an inclusive, whole-child education where students from preschool through 8th grade truly thrive.
During the Open House, prospective and current families can take self-guided or guided tours through each division, observe authentic Montessori classroom materials, and see student work firsthand:
- Preprimary (Ages 3 to 6): Children develop independence, coordination, foundational
literacy, and social empathy in thoughtfully prepared environments. - Lower & Upper Elementary (1st through 6th Grade): Multi-age groups engage in
collaborative inquiry, advanced math and science work, cultural studies, and
interdisciplinary projects. - Junior High (7th & 8th Grade): Adolescents build academic rigor, real-world leadership,
executive functioning skills, and community service projects to prepare for top high
school environments across the region. - Whole-Child Specials & Campus Features: Families can visit the outdoor Farmessori
learning spaces and chicken habitats, explore the art and music studios, view the indoor
pool and gymnasium, and tour the library media center.
