Carrig Montessori

A Williamsburg AMS-member Montessori running through Grade 5 — and one of the most affordable independent Montessori options in the city.

⚑ Accreditation check
Carrig Montessori displays AMS’s official 2024–25 member-school badge on every page — a genuine badge, but a dated one. The school does not appear in the AMS register (checked August 10, 2026 by name, ZIP and city sweeps, not geo alone), and its former AMS listing now returns 404. AMS membership runs 1 July–30 June, so this is consistent with an ordinary lapse. Status: lapsed or inaccurate as currently stated.

💲 Notably affordable  Montessori through Grade 5, for less

At about $22,500, Carrig runs well below most Manhattan and Brooklyn independent Montessori — and it continues into the elementary years, which is where private tuition usually climbs steeply. See how it compares →

Overview

Carrig Montessori is an independent AMS-member Montessori in Williamsburg serving children from toddler age through Grade 5. Its headline feature is value: at roughly $22,500, it's markedly more affordable than most NYC independent Montessori — and unusually, it carries that affordability into the elementary years.

Programs & ages

Toddler and 3–6 Primary communities continue into a lower-elementary program through Grade 5, so families can stay through the early grades without switching schools.

Tuition 2026–27

Around $22,500 — one of the lowest independent-Montessori figures in our directory, especially notable given it includes elementary. Confirm current pricing and any aid. Compare on the tuition page.

Leadership & staff

Leadership is listed on the school's site, but full per-teacher credentials aren't posted — worth asking about, particularly for the elementary guides.

Accreditation & authenticity

An AMS member offering Montessori through Grade 5. Membership isn't accreditation, so confirm teacher training to gauge fidelity — our authenticity guide explains what to look for.

What parents say

Independent review volume is limited. The clear draw is authentic-style Montessori through elementary at an accessible price in a desirable neighborhood — weigh a tour heavily.

Heard around town

Signals from public parent forums and listservs. Forum chatter is opinion — take it with a grain of salt.

No candid, school-specific community chatter for Carrig has surfaced yet. Heard something in a Williamsburg parent group? We'd love to add it.

Health & safety record

Violations heard and decided at the city’s administrative tribunal. We publish these in full, including when there are none.

  • 1case on record
  • 2024period covered
  • 1sustained
  • $200penalties imposed

For comparison: across all 18,161 DOHMH child-care cases heard at OATH, 63.1% were sustained, 21.3% ended in default and 13.1% were dismissed. Most citations concern records, repairs and paperwork — staff immunisation files, premises upkeep, sink water temperature, background-check timing — rather than incidents involving a child.

Source: NYC Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings, case status data, checked 11 August 2026. These are adjudicated outcomes, not inspection allegations. The record gives the rule cited and the result, but never the inspector’s narrative — the charge text always reads “see attached NOV”. Outcomes can change on appeal. Something wrong? Tell us.
