Hopscotch Montessori VIA 57 is a Candidate School* for the Primary Years Program. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy — a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that Hopscotch Montessori believes is important for our students.
*Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit
www.ibo.org Designed for children ages 5−11, the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) complements our Montessori approach by encouraging children to ask meaningful questions, think critically, and make connections across disciplines, cultures, and the world around them. Through inquiry-based learning, students develop strong academic foundations alongside confidence, communication, collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Most importantly, they grow into curious, compassionate, and internationally minded individuals who understand that learning is not only about achieving academic success, but about making a positive contribution to their communities and the world.
