Love for Learning
Maria Montessori recognized that inherent in every child is the ability to be curious, to imagine and learn. Every new wonder and discovery is absorbed readily into their fertile minds.

The heart of Montessori education is a deep regard for the child's innate readiness to learn, a spark that -- when fostered in the proper environment, with highly trained and sensitive guides -- will help feed the flames of their imagination.

At MMCS, we stay true to Dr. Montessori's method of teaching, encouraging our children to explore and take ownership of their own learning, helping them on their path to self-discovery.  

MMCS children are self-motivated, self-disciplined, and confident from a very young age, through to adolescence and to life.  Come, meet our children and see it for yourself: the spark in their eyes and smiles and minds.

Montessori, Together
The school celebrates its 50th anniversary this year (2021) with a newly-minted vision and mission to ignite the love for learning as the premier Montessori school in the country, and with several programs to upgrade many areas of how we operate.

Among the changes are fresh efforts to improve the way the school communicates and interacts with the Community (whether current, past, or potential members), modernizing of administrative processes, and adapting the educational approach, not just for the pandemic but for the evolving contexts of the world our children live in and will grow up to shape.

Teachers, school staff, and parent volunteers -- some who serve as the school's Trustees, and many more who are generously sharing their expertise in various relevant fields -- are all working hand-in-hand to give back to the school that is raising the next generation of creators and pioneers.

It's not a catch phrase or a tag line, it's a deep belief that describes and drives the way we do things: Montessori, Together.
