Montessori education prepares students academically, socially and emotionally for any high school experience and beyond. Of course, we can’t imagine what careers might be available for today’s children, so we are teaching them to think, adapt to a changing world and solve problems.

I only got to spend two years at this school, and I wish I could have been there so much longer! The teachers were always so kind and helpful, as were my classmates, and I learned so much about both typical school subjects and more with hands-on learning.

In my short time there, I was able to participate in bake sales, help run school-wide events, connect with people outside of my own grade, and build a supporting community there. I learned so much about who I am as a person. I felt I had grown enough to truly take on the world by the time I went to high school. I really could not recommend this program enough.

If you are looking for a school with an inclusive community, hands-on learning, accommodating teachers, and an all-around great community, this is the place for you!

If you're here because you're curious about if Montessori is right for your child, this is your sign that CMS is a school you should very seriously consider. I was a student here back in the early 00s, from 1st-6th grade, and I can honestly say that CMS was the catalyst for a lifetime of joy of learning. Many of my most cherished memories come from my time at CMS: learning long division with the "racks and tubes" in lower elementary; tracing the chronology of our history on the timeline of life; presenting a research project on stars in upper elementary. At CMS, I learned more than just math facts and how to write an essay--I learned how to be responsible for my own learning and how to nurture meaningful relationships with my teachers and peers.
