WMS is fortunate to have a strong, involved parents’ group. This is in keeping with Maria Montessori’s philosophy that “the parent is the child’s first and most influential teacher.”
Contact the school to learn more about the parents' group.

Young children are attracted to practical life exercises because they sense that mastery of these activities will allow them to function independently in the adult world. You’ve heard your preschooler declare, “I can do it myself!”

Montessori encourages and fosters this independence. As students move into the lower and upper elementary programs, classroom materials encourage a move from understanding the physical world to grasping abstract concepts. The learning environment provides the groundwork for study of mathematics, grammar, geometry, botany, zoology and geography, all in a manner that meets this age group’s need for both inspiration and an orderly world.
