faculty & staff

The Cobb School is a close-knit and dynamic community of like-minded faculty and staff who seek to provide the best education for all its students, 15 months through 12 years of age.

All Head Teachers have been Montessori trained.  There is one teacher and one assistant in each of the Toddler, Primary, and Lower Elementary classes, and there are two trained Montessori teachers and one assistant/science teacher guiding the Upper Elementary Program.  Our Elementary curriculum is enriched by specials, including Art, Music, Gym, Spanish and Latin.  The faculty members who teach these subjects are experienced and dedicated experts. Our after school program, The Nest, is run by a Montessori-trained teacher and assistant.

All Cobb School employees are dedicated to meeting the needs of the children and families in our community.
