Each year, Eton School recognizes outstanding student achievement in community competitions. These competitions include a variety of subjects such as Science, Math, Writing and Latin. Celebrating their accomplishments is part of belonging to the Eton School community.

Although the Montessori philosophy does not encourage competition at the young ages, students gain proficiency and confidence at different times and in different areas. We are pleased that Eton students have voluntarily participated in individual and group activities and succeeded at high performance levels.
