Madison Community Montessori School (formerly Madison Central Montessori School) was founded as a non-profit, privately owned AMI Certified (Association Montessori Internationale) school and has served families from the greater Madison area since 1972. Throughout the years our goal has been to meet the needs of our families, while offering the very best in Montessori education.
We now enroll over 160 students in one Toddler community (15 months - 3 years), three Children's House classrooms (3 - 6 years), two Lower Elementary classrooms (6-9 years), one Upper Elementary classroom (9-12 years), and one Adolescent classroom (12-14 years).
Plus, we offer programs before and after school. Summer "Camp" programs are also available for children ages 3 - 12 years.
