Sr. Thea Bowman Montessori School

Sr. Thea Bowman Montessori School is an early childhood program in Memphis, TN, located on the campus of St. Patrick Catholic Community. The school serves children ages 2.5 to 5 in a prepared environment that supports independence, concentration, and respect for each child’s stage of development and culture. Guided by the Montessori Method, students engage in concrete, hands-on learning that nurtures the whole child—physically, mentally, socially, psychologically, and spiritually.

Daily life emphasizes a welcoming and supportive atmosphere grounded in the values of excellence, justice, faith, and hope. As part of its faith-based approach, the school offers the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd, a developmentally appropriate spiritual experience centered on prayer, contemplation, and enjoyment of God.

Situated in downtown Memphis, Sr. Thea Bowman Montessori School provides families with a child-centered, thoughtfully designed early learning option rooted in both Montessori pedagogy and the mission of the St. Patrick Catholic Community.
