Photos: The difference between traditional and Montessori educational methods is significant. It says that the student rather than the teacher is the focus of activity. This is even more symbolic in the life of deaf children, as their entire world is based on their eyesight. You can't miss this part of our website where you can see images of our students both hard at work and at play!  MORE

Fundraising: Like most private schools, Blossom - a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization- relies on tuition and charitable gifts to provide "the Blossom experience". Please visit this section of our website to learn about our fundraising efforts and how you can get involved.  MORE

Deaf Literacy Academy: Blossom Montessori School for the Deaf sponsors the Deaf Family Literacy Academy.  This mentor-based program is assisting parents with  their ability to read to their deaf children.  Each week, parents learn the conceptually accurate way to 'read' a book in ASL to their children. Ten families are involved in this important investment in their child's future.  MORE
