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, however, 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 other education models, the intensity in which the Montessori philosophy envelopes their life can feel monumental.

Wesley spent eight years on campus, although he poignantly pointed out that six years were in the same building! This is definitely not normal, but the current high school used to be our Upper Elementary program and during one of his middle school years the ‘great flood’ meant he spent an additional year housed with the high school students,. Judging from the smiles, I don’t think Wesley minded one bit.
