Attend an Open House

This fall, we’re opening our doors and inviting prospective families to experience the heart of Headwaters School. Whether you’re exploring our Early Childhood, Elementary, Middle, or High School programs, our Open Houses are a chance to connect with our vibrant community, see our campuses in action, and discover how our Montessori foundation, IB Diploma Programme, and commitment to educational excellence prepare students to thrive.

During each event, you’ll meet school leaders, Guides, and current families; learn about our curriculum and signature programs; and connect with parents who can share their Headwaters experience.

Come see what makes Headwaters a place where curiosity is encouraged, individuality is celebrated, and students are empowered to lead their own learning journey.
