What is the school’s mission and philosophy? CMS is dedicated to providing an enriching educational environment that enables each child to realize their highest potential while developing a love of learning and a respect for self and others.
How does the school differentiate itself from other private schools in the area? The goal of a Montessori education is to foster lifelong learners and problem solvers. The Montessori philosophy helps children build confidence and become self-motivated in the classroom and beyond.
What are the core values that guide the school community? Montessori children grow to become autonomous, responsible, and adaptive members of the broader community who encounter the world with a joyful spirit.
What extracurricular activities and clubs are available? As part of the school program, students participate in physical education, music, and art programs, as well as Greek. After-school programs are yoga, instrumental music, art, and physical movement.
How does the school foster a sense of community among students? We foster a sense of belonging, collaboration, and mutual respect. Children of differing ages learn from each other and develop a global mindset of empathy, tolerance, and sense of responsibility.
How can parents get involved in the school community? Parents are invited to share their diverse cultural backgrounds. The fall/spring musical presentations invite parents to participate. Transparent Classroom allows parents to see what their children are doing daily.
