Welcome to Maitripa Tara School

The Maitripa Tara School’s mission is to support and develop the Good Heart and the potential of all beings, while sharing in a community of care, love and respect. Founded on the three pillars of wisdom, compassion and ethics, the school curriculum combines a Tibetan Buddhist world view, Dr. Maria Montessori Pedagogical method, and a permaculture approach to care for, and connection to the natural world, to oneself and one another, relying of diversity, stability and resilience.

Maitripa Tara School is currently accepting applications for our Preschool (ages 2.5-6) morning program 8:30am-12:30pm Monday-Friday. (We expect to open our Toddler environment beginning Fall 2024).  We are seeking connections with families who appreciate that their child’s education extends far beyond the classroom, and support an approach to learning that extends into homes, families, communities, and the world. Pease come to one of our Open Houses or schedule a Personal Visit. We look forward to meeting you and your family!
