You want your child to love learning, not just for a year, but for a lifetime.  Sometimes, finding the right fit isn’t easy.

Maybe your child thrives in hands-on environments but needs more freedom than a traditional classroom allows.  Maybe you want more time together as a family without sacrificing structure and progress.  Or maybe you're homeschooling and craving high-quality support that doesn’t fight your values.

At Sandwich Montessori School, we hear you, and we’ve created something different.

Hybrid Montessori, in real life, isn’t just a schedule.  It’s a way of learning that works for the whole family.

What Does Homeschool Hybrid Actually Look Like?

It’s more than a schedule, it’s a philosophy in motion

Our Montessori hybrid takes the best of both worlds: two days each week immersed in hands-on, child-led Montessori learning on our Sandwich, MA campus, and three days guided by our home curriculum, so you stay connected to your child’s learning journey every step of the way.

The hybrid experience isn’t just about academics.  Hybrid families also gain something many homeschoolers crave: a reliable, values-aligned community.  Children build real friendships and social confidence by seeing the same peers and guides each week, creating the consistency that’s often missing from drop-in or short-term programs.

Families can further enrich their week with Learning Labs, immersive, multi-sensory sessions in foreign language, science, leadership, and the arts. Whether your child is curious about chemistry, fascinated by storytelling, or ready to lead a team, our labs invite them to explore with joy and belong while doing it.

Real Options. Real Support.  One Strong Foundation.

No two children learn the same way.  That’s why we’ve designed multiple paths, each grounded in the same Montessori philosophy of independence, purpose, and whole-child growth.

Full-Time Montessori (5 Days On-Campus)
Looking for a full school-week schedule?  In this track, students spend five days on campus, weaving together core Montessori work cycles with Learning Labs that extend and deepen their learning. It’s immersive, consistent, and community-centered.

Hybrid Montessori (Two Days On-Campus plus Curriculum for Three Days At Home)
Prefer more time at home?  Students attend two full days in our Montessori classrooms and receive structured, flexible curriculum plans to follow at home the other three days.  It’s guided, not DIY, so you’re never on your own.

Learning Labs and Workshops (à la carte)
Want to supplement homeschool or part-time education?  Families can enroll in specific morning or afternoon sessions:

• 
  Morning Labs: Spanish immersion, PonyLab (science and animal care), leadership and civic life
• Afternoon Workshops: Chess, STEM, Dungeons and Dragons, clay, music, and more

Whether your child joins for a full day, a morning session, or just one afternoon a week, they’re welcomed into a learning environment that feels both focused and joyful.

Bringing The Learning Home: Simple, Powerful Tips

Even if your child is only on campus part of the week, learning with Sandwich Montessori School doesn’t stop at the school doors. Here are three simple ways to carry the philosophy into your home:

• Create a prepared space
  Set up a small shelf with a few rotating activities your child can choose independently.  Keep it tidy and inviting.
• Let your child lead
  Offer limited choices (“Would you like to do math or read first?”) and watch how confidently they engage.
• Honor focus
  When your child is deeply engaged, don’t interrupt. That concentration is where real learning lives.

  We provide curriculum, materials, and check-ins with guides to help you feel confident teaching at home.
