Stoneridge Children’s Montessori School has initiated the Stoneridge Scholars Program, a “good neighbor” outreach to families in Beverly and neighboring communities. Students entering grades 6 and 7 in September 2007 have an opportunity to apply for two- and three-year competitive scholarships.

Students awarded these scholarships will have the privilege of attending an outstanding independent school with small class size that delivers on its educational philosophy: helping each student to learn to his full potential. The School curriculum is taught by an outstanding and experienced faculty. The core academic areas—mathematics, science, language arts, social studies—are taught in an interdisciplinary manner, and the curriculum includes instruction in Spanish, art, music, physical education, and life skills. Students participate in curriculum-related field trips throughout the school year. The School is located adjacent to Endicott College in a new facility, sited on 9.5 acres of wooded land. The students use the athletic facilities of Endicott College for their competitive athletic program.

Sixth graders enter in the third (last) year of the Upper Elementary Program. Seventh graders enter in the first year of the Middle School program.

Through the Stoneridge Scholars Program (SSP), the School is looking for students who have these two key qualities:

• aiming towards excellence in the classroom, both academically and socially
• assuming responsibility, e.g., managing a paper route, acting in a play, participating in sports, or volunteering
