Our devoted staff has worked diligently to design an educational journey that focuses on the whole child. We serve families and children from birth through high school.
Community Montessori takes this belief about learning and applies it to all stages of development. We believe in knowing and understanding the individual first and then using that knowledge to support their journey, charting a personalized course of learning. In 2002, we converted to a charter school and have a tuition-free program for K-12. Although our infant through 4 year old programs are tuition based, we work with all families to support tuition payments.
Following the Montessori core belief system, we provide an environment that respects all people and ideas. Because of our holistic approach to education, learners receive an enriched learning environment where they are supported in their emotional and physical wellness as they strive to become self-regulated, internally motivated, life-long learners.
In 2011, we reached full capacity of over 600 learners and we graduated our first vibrant young adults. With a waiting list of more than 100 children and teens from our annual lottery for admission, we will continue to be an exceptional educational option for our community.
