In happier West End school news, Tacoma will have a second public Montessori option beginning next year. Geiger elementary will offer Montessori instruction for preschool, kindergarten and first grade for the 2010-11 school year, and add a grade each year thereafter. Geiger's all-day preschool program is tuition-based, $600/month for 10 months. All later grades are free.
