Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence

As we celebrate four decades of service to the Chicago community, we look back with pride on the generations of students who have started their journey at Brickton. Reaching this 40-year milestone is a testament to the strength of our faculty and the enduring trust of our families. While the world has changed since 1986, our commitment to providing an authentic Montessori experience—one that honors the child and fosters a global perspective—remains as vibrant today as it was on our very first day. We aren't just celebrating our past; we are inspired by the future leaders currently growing in our classrooms.

Feedback

The Brickton Experience

“Everyone cares for each other here. You can feel it when you step foot inside a classroom. You see students working together, helping each other, sometimes goofing off, but getting things done. I learned so much at Brickton, not just academics. I learned about friendship, hardships, overcoming obstacles, respect, and independence. Without me knowing it, Brickton was subtly and gradually preparing me for the rest of my life.”

Claire McDonald, Brickton Montessori Alum
