I love working at FMS. The people I work with are smart and encouraging, and parents are grateful and kind. It's a beautiful place to work for.

Such an amazing staff that go the extra mile to ensure your child is guided and respected like an individual. The children are taught life skills that they will carry with them for life, preparing them to work as a community, and building awareness of the world around them.
