What is EPISD?
El Paso ISD is introducing Montessori education options to the region. Beginning in 2023-2024, students ages 3-6 will learn to look within, think creatively, and rise to challenging challenges!
Montessori education involves children’s natural interests and activities rather than formal teaching methods. Montessori classrooms emphasize hands-on learning and real-world skills.
It emphasizes independence and views children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in an appropriate and well-prepared learning environment. It reduces the emphasis on conventional measures of achievement, such as grades and tests.

History
The method was started in the early 20th century by Italian physician Maria Montessori, who developed her theories through scientific experimentation with her students; the method has since been used in many parts of the world, in public and private schools alike.
HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS
EPISD is proud to offer excellent learning pathways in our high schools. Even if it is outside of their designated school attendance zone, students can select the program with the educational path that is the right fit for them.
During the fall semester, counselors will introduce the many academic programs available in high school to middle school students. There is a study program for every interest, from business and education to various STEM-focused courses and more. Counselors review these options as students prepare for high school transition.
These include career-specific programs of study and college credit courses, such as Advanced Placement, the International Baccalaureate, dual credit, and dual enrollment.
At every high school, students can earn an associate degree or industry certification along with their high school diploma. High school program representatives will visit middle schools or host informational nights each fall to showcase these programs.
Check with your student’s counselor for dates and times. Middle school students and their parents are encouraged to explore the high school programs below to learn more about the offerings at each campus.Â
