Looking Back

LOOKING BACK & MOVING FORWARD

Not all of our students start in the infant room. Some families do not discover our school until their children are much older. What we have discovered though, is that whether your time is long or short, the impact remains the same. For those who only know a Montessori education, OFMS truly is a second home. For others who have experienced traditional education models, the intensity in which the Montessori philosophy envelopes their life can feel monumental.

Ellie and Alanna both attribute their confidence, perserverance and acceptance they achieved here to the family-like atmosphere they found at the high school. More importantly, these two young adults have touched the lives of future OFMS graduates. Through mentoring, interacting with peers and sharing their Capstone projects, both of these students will leave an impact on underclassmen who will follow behind them.

This is a place where I always feel welcomed and accepted. It’s almost like a second home, it’s awesome.”
