Intellectual Property

The texts, tables, charts, layout and design of the website belong to BIGBANG MEDIA, unless stated otherwise. So does the directory as a compilation, meaning the selection, arrangement and checking of the school records. Copying all or part of them without written permission is not allowed. You may quote a short passage if you add a link to the page it comes from.

Public data, openly licensed material and images from third parties keep their own licenses. They are listed in the sections below and next to the content concerned. School names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners.

About the Listings

Each school listing is compiled from public sources.

  • Public listings on Google Maps, collected in January 2025, for names, addresses, phone numbers, websites, opening hours and ratings
  • The Private School Survey of the US National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), 2023-24 edition, which is in the public domain, for US grades, enrollment and AMS or AMI membership
  • GeoNames for place names and coordinates, under the CC BY 4.0 license
  • Map tiles from OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors, with map data available under the Open Database License (ODbL)
  • The schools' own websites, which we read to check whether a school describes itself as a Montessori school

Opening hours, ratings, programs and contact details can change at any time, and a school may have moved or closed since the data was collected. Please confirm the details directly with the school before you visit or enroll. A listing is not an endorsement or a recommendation of the school by BIGBANG MEDIA.

The Verified Montessori badge means that an official record, or the school's own website, shows that the school presents itself as a Montessori school. The signals we use are described on our About page. The badge is not an accreditation, it is not issued by any Montessori organization and it says nothing about teacher training or teaching quality.

Review Summaries

Star ratings on school pages are Google ratings, shown with the number of reviews and the date of the data. They reflect the opinions of Google users, not ours. We do not publish the text of any review or the names of reviewers. If a school page includes a written summary of what reviews say, it is in our own words, with no quotes and no reviewer names.

Statistics and Third-Party Figures

Our Montessori statistics page combines counts from our own directory with figures published by others, and each outside figure is shown with its source. The worldwide estimates come from the 2022 Global Montessori Census (Debs et al., Journal of Montessori Research, 2022). This work is published under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license, and we cite it with attribution. Those figures remain the work of their authors.

Image Credits

Photos in our guides are credited directly under each image, with the author, the source and a link to the license. Each image stays under the license named in its credit.

Links to Other Sites

The site links to school websites, Google Maps, official sources and other third-party sites. We do not control their content, availability or privacy practices, and a link does not mean that we endorse them.

Report an Error or Update a Listing

If something in a listing is wrong or out of date, tell us through the contact form, or use the Update This Listing button on the school page. Please name the school and its city, and say what needs to change. Schools can also ask us to correct their listing or to remove it from the directory.

For questions about personal data, see our Privacy Policy. The rules for using the site are in our Terms of Service.
