Jonathan Wells, AMS (3-6), M.S.Ed - Head of School
Jonathan Wells was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. After graduating with a B.A. in Journalism at Michigan State University, he moved to New York City, where he lived for 9 years, working in various educational institutions. Jonathan studied at Hunter College and received a M.S. in Early Childhood and Special Education from Concordia College in Bronxville, NY. During that time, he also worked as an assistant teacher at a public Montessori school and became captivated by the beauty, intellect, and dignity granted to children, as well as the ways in which the children granted these values to those around them. He studied at Westside Montessori School's Teacher Education Program and finished his credential as a Primary guide from Northeast Montessori Institute in Cambridge. He's lived in Massachusetts for 5 years, frequently visiting his grandparents in Braintree, and visiting the trees and ocean found here.
I am humbled by the opportunity to lead this school. What a privilege! If your desire is to enter a community of learners (adults and children alike) seeking to grow intellectually and empathically, then you've come to the right place and are most welcome!
