Why Montessori
The foundation of our academic curriculum is based upon the teachings of Maria Montessori (1870-1952), who established the Montessori method of education. She was an internationally known Italian educator and physician, who recognized that the years between two and six are critical in the educational and social development of the child. It is during this time that a child acquires a fundamental attitude towards both the learning process and social behavior.
Our classrooms are designed to give a child freedom to choose work in a prepared environment. These materials are designed to awake the 5 senses and motivate the child from within. All our classrooms are divided up into Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, and Cultural.

Our MMS Family
At MMS, we feel that families are the foundation of the school and having them join together enhances the school’s core. There is a parent-to-parent organization that helps to foster a sense of community amongst the families through events both on and off campus. PTP holds monthly meetings and hosts our annual Harvest Fest during the fall back-to-school season. Additionally, we incorporate parents into our curriculum. All students put on a Holiday Show in December. Kindergarteners host an annual “Donuts for Dad” breakfast. Every child’s birthday starts with a visit from mom and dad. These are just a few examples. At MMS, families are truly a core part of the school.
