Our mission is to build a truly authentic Montessori School Community that is respectful and culturally diverse. Part of the Montessori curricula involves developing a tradition of giving to others. CMS will support and participate in a larger community effort to document the many heroes that have lived this historical district and dedicated their lives to child endeavors. CMS plans to provide scholarships to the children who have completed their preschool and kindergarten Montessori programs at the NRC Montessori Preschool in neighboring Fulton Hill. 1. Children of mixed ages and abilities and their teacher make up a small classroom community, exploring and learning together for a complete three-year academic cycle. 2. Even the youngest students have full access to a very strong core curricula that is completely integrated into: * science * geography * history * botany * biology * research 3. Students learn by manipulating materials (moving from simple to complex) and interacting with others. These meaningful experiences are precursors to abstract understanding of ideas. 4. The classroom has a very dynamic social environment, much like the one you work in now. This allows children to learn successful social skills. This is one of the true predictors of future successes.
