Leadership, research projects, and advanced Montessori academics that prepare students for middle school and beyond.
Montessori education nurtures every part of a child’s development — academic, social, and emotional. Instead of one-size-fits-all lessons, children work with hands-on materials at their own pace, building real understanding instead of memorization.
At Country Montessori School, students learn in multi-age classrooms where they can observe, lead, and collaborate. This setting naturally develops independence, concentration, responsibility, and respect for others — skills that serve them well beyond the classroom.
Because each level at CMS builds on the one before it, families can stay from preschool through 5th grade knowing their child is in a consistent, nurturing, and academically rigorous environment.
Students choose purposeful work, which builds intrinsic motivation and confidence.
Older students model leadership while younger students gain support and inspiration.
Academic skills grow alongside social, emotional, and practical life skills.
