This is the most important question a parent can ask. After all, there are many private/independent schools to choose from; what makes Montessori the right choice?
Early in the 20th century, decades before early childhood development was a course of study in our colleges and universities, the Italian educator and physician, Dr. Maria Montessori, established her teaching method. Dr. Montessori's revolutionary discoveries caught the attention of educators around the world. One observation became a cornerstone of her method: that meaningful work is essential to a child's development. The Montessori curriculum encompasses that development from birth through adolescence.
Our informational breakfast sessions provide parents at CMS an opportunity to discuss parents' ideas for improving our school as well as ask any questions about the direction of the school and/or the pedagogical approach of Montessori. Consult the schedule and let us know which day you can attend.
All Breakfasts with Adele take place on 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month, from 9:00 to 10:00am. RSVP required.
Upcoming Breakfasts with Adele
The Corvallis Montessori School welcomes all families regardless of race, color, ethnic origin, religion, or lifestyle. We encourage prospective families to engage their interest in lifelong learning and welcome participation in classroom observation, our info breakfasts with the head of school, parent education meetings, and other events. Once you have applied for admission, you can also be added to our email lists and receive information on a wide range of community events. To welcome a new family to our community, a mentor will be assigned to a new family! A mentor is a current parent at our school and will help you get acquainted with other families.
Share in the excitement of building on successful education programs at Corvallis Montessori School. Please join other community members in supporting our school to expand educational opportunities for our children.
Each contribution makes a difference. Donations have an immediate and lasting impact on CMS. Some of our goals include developing:
- Teacher training and professional development grants
- Scholarship opportunities for disadvantaged children through our tuition assistance program
- Extracurricular and programming materials, including our library and art & music education program
