info About Guidepost Montessori

Guidepost Montessori is a private Montessori school network operated by Higher Ground Education, serving children from 6 weeks to age 12 across dozens of U.S. campuses (including Charlotte, NC) and select international locations. It is NOT an ABA/behavioral-health provider — it employs Montessori-trained teachers ('guides') rather than BCBAs or RBTs. Its parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2025 after years of VC-funded rapid expansion, and multiple campuses have closed abruptly, some with landlord lockouts over unpaid rent.
