CMS maintains the highest standards of academic excellence and dedication to the individual needs of the student. Our aim is to provide a carefully planned environment in which the student will learn and grow. The Community Montessori School directs all of the efforts and talents of its staff to the development of a total education program. Education, in all its varied forms, is seen as an aid to life. The principles of Dr. Maria Montessori provide the framework for program development in all areas. While academic development is an essential component in a persons development, academics are seen as a necessary tool rather than the ultimate goals of Montessori education towards the total development of the child.

A Good Start in the Classroom
“Help me help myself,” is the fundamental philosophy around which the Montessori classroom revolves. The classroom is designed to suit the child’s age, size, comfort and intellectual needs. There is freedom of movement and choice of where to work as well as time in which to work alone and with others.
The teacher is thought of more as a “guide,” one who is carefully trained to observe the children, present appropriate lessons to each child, and leave room for independent choices. Children often learn from watching and helping each other, a major advantage of the mixed age class.
A Good Start in Preparation for Lifework
The Montessori approach emphasizes the development of the whole child. The emotional and social development is nurtured along with the intellect, helping the child prepare him/her self for their world, their life and their community.
