Pullman Community Montessori (PCM), the first publicly-funded school choice option in Pullman, opened its doors in 2021, serving students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Since then, PCM has expanded by one grade level each year and is currently enrolling students in kindergarten through eighth grade for the 2024-2025 school year. For more enrollment information, visit our website at www.pullmancommunitymontessori.org, call 509-336-5909 or email enrollment@mypcm.org. As a public charter school, we are open to all age-appropriate Washington students. PCM is tuition-free and offers all traditional services offered by traditional public schools, such as transportation, food services and special education services. PCM follows the hallmarks of Montessori education by providing hands-on materials, opportunities for individualized learning, mixed age groups so students can mentor and learn from one another, long work periods to encourage the development of concentration, focus and time management and a strong focus on social-emotional learning. Our Montessori learning approach is enriched by place-based project education. This form of education allows students to utilize local community resources and study the Pullman region’s local heritage, cultures, landscapes, opportunities and experiences. This immersive learning approach helps students expand their understanding of core academic concepts, their community and their leadership within it. Our school is conveniently located in the Gladish Center, close to downtown Pullman, the Neill Public Library, the Pullman trail system and several parks. These resources are integral to our place-based learning approach and are frequently used by our students and classroom communities. Please contact the school to learn more and arrange a tour.
