School Motto: Free the child's potential and you will transform him into the world
More than a century ago, Maria Montessori enlightened the world
to the immense capabilities of the child. She showed us that
children are driven by natural tendencies, which compel them to
move through the world, exploring and discovering. At Chesapeake
Montessori School we offer prepared environments, guided by a
trained teachers, that provide children and adolescents innumerable
opportunities for exploration and discovery. We guide children
intellectually, academically, socially, and emotionally in their
preparation for life.
Since 1977, CMS has been serving families in the greater
Annapolis area. We believe that education is an exciting process of
discovery that builds a foundation for critical thinking,
self-discipline, and a life-long love of learning. We understand
that children learn best when they are motivated by their own
innate need to explore and discover. We respect that children and
adolescents should be encouraged to progress at their own pace,
regardless of age or ability. We are committed to practicing
authentic Montessori to help children and adolescents reach their
full potential, while instilling values of civic responsibility and
compassion. CMS graduates understand that they are an important
part of society and possess the knowledge and skills to make a
difference in the world.We`re looking for empathetic children,
teens, and parents who value self-construction and intellectual
curiosity.
We seek those who are invested in the building and maintenance
of strong community, and want to create a diverse and inclusive
culture. We are a school community that offers "schooling" at a
high standard mathematics, English language arts, science, the
humanities, geography, geometry, fine/performing/industrial arts,
and French language arts and, more importantly, we offer the
"invisible scaffolding" that impels young people to become good,
noble, and adaptable citizens in their own time and place. We care
aboutthe whole child, or teen, more than we do tests scores
and grades.
