Dubuque Montessori School

Since 1968 Dubuque Montessori School has provided thousands of children the learning tools needed to build a solid foundation for future growth, development, and success.  We are a parent-run, nonprofit organization.  Parents serve on the board of directors, which in conjunction with the administrator, Montessori trained teaching staff, and the experienced assistants, makes important decisions regarding the school.  Our carefully prepared classrooms offer socialization and formal learning experiences  for children ages 2-6 based on the wonderful philosophy and curriculum of Dr. Maria Montessori.  The children are taught how to be respectful, responsible and caring individuals.  Research proves that the best predictor of future success is a positive sense of ones self.  Our program, based on self-directed, non-competitive activities, help each child develop a positive self-image along with the confidence to face challenges and adapt to change with optimism.  Experiences in a Montessori classroom instill a love of learning in the child that will carry them through their lifetime.

Almost Home

At Almost Home @ St. John’s, we put people back on the path home by sheltering, serving and supporting our neighbors in need with beds, clothing, and connection to resources.

We are a mission founded and sponsored by the congregation at St. John’s Evangelical Lutheran church in downtown Dubuque, Iowa, while not exclusive to the Lutheran denomination. We rely on your generosity to serve the needs of our community.

St. John’s Lutheran Church

St John’s is a congregation that continually strives to live out the Gospel of Matthew through the Grace of God:
“… for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” Matt. 25:35-36

One of the ways we do this is through our ministry known as, Almost Home, where “we put people back on the path home by sheltering, serving and supporting our neighbors in need with beds, clothing, and connection to resources.” This is a mission founded and sponsored by the congregation of St. John’s Lutheran, but is not exclusive to Lutheran denomination(s).
