"It is not the responsibility of the teacher to let the students do whatever they want; rather it is the responsibility of the teacher to help the students love what they have to do."

Élan Vital Montessori School
Montessori Education for Toddlers – 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 program offerings include a Toddler Program (18months - 3 years), Early Childhood Primary (3 years through Kindergarten), and Lower Elementary (1st 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 a traditional not-for-profit private school with a mission to create and sustain an optimal Montessori educational environment to enable each child to realize his or her richest potential for learning and to become an independent, self-motivated, and contributing member of the world community. It is our aim to instill respect and responsibility for humankind, the environment, and ourselves.
All of our teaching staff is Montessori Certified and our lead teachers have State of Louisiana Teaching Licenses. Élan Vital is the first Montessori School in Baton Rouge to offer extended care from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. for working parents.
