The Montessori Family School           Mission Statement

The Montessori Family School exists to provide an education that produces good humans - because peace is only possible when people feel valued.  We create a harmonious and peaceful environment by valuing our teachers, parents, administration, and children.

The future and well-being of society is held in the hands of our children.  How we educate and care for them will determine the kind of society we will become.

To make the world a better place, we need strong and thoughtful people; all children have the potential and opportunity to become independent, purposeful participants in the community when given love, support, respect and the tools to pursue their innate curiosity.

We recognize that in order for education to happen, the emotional, social, physical, spiritual and intellectual needs of children must be met.

MFS is a community that values an education that evolves and adapts to the changing needs of the child, society, and the planet.  We work to prepare children to create order out of chaos and to thrive in the real world.  Through individualized curriculum, we create an environment that fosters a love of learning, which allows children to pursue their own education.

Values Statement

At Montessori Family School we educate the whole child; mind, body and spirit.  We provide a global, holistic education that fosters moral and ethical integrity.  We honor the Earth and all living beings and strive to preserve the resources of our planet.

We strive to create a diverse community of students who think critically, self-respect, and continue a lifelong spirit of inquiry (love of learning).  We integrate life lessons into the classroom experience.  Families, teachers, students (and others) collaborate to meet and maintain individual needs of each child.
