Élan Vital Provides Montessori Education
for PK3 – 3rd Grade
In fall 2006, Élan Vital Montessori School opened its doors on Perkins Road as the first Montessori School in Baton Rouge dedicated to providing PK3 - 8th grade education. Twenty-five students were in the inaugural class -- 18 in Primary and seven in Elementary. Our current programs cover Early Childhood Primary and Lower Elementary (3 years through 3rd grade). It is our intention to add Upper Elementary and Middle School as our current students progress through the curriculum.
Élan Vital has an authentic Montessori environment where children develop a lifelong love of learning. Élan Vital is structured as a traditional not-for-profit private school with a mission of providing Montessori education for families in Baton Rouge. Élan Vital is the first Montessori School in Baton Rouge to offer extended care until 5:30 p.m. for working parents.
