Create lessons that allow students to think independently & creatively Provide students with the opportunity to participate in hands-on learning experience that adequately prepare them for the real world We commit to appreciating our student’s strengths and weaknesses and incorporating them into our lessons, teaching strategies and assessments. We will use differentiated instruction as a way to successfully reach all of our students Commend students for their academic and non-academic achievements and offer alternatives when they are not being successful become life-long learners who are active, responsible citizens Encourage students to be good citizens by modeling and teaching values in and out of the classroom

The students at City Montessori School deserve an opportunity to learn and be involved in activities that will help them develop into responsible, productive citizens. Our students deserve to have a curriculum that is standards-based, offers a variety of classes, challenges and motivates them to learn, and offers them choices about how they learn and how they are assessed. They deserve to learn the skills needed to face a competitive work force, and to be able to do so in an environment where they feel safe and are willing to take risks in order to grow academically. They deserve freedom to express their views, to receive respect from both adults and peers, to have input into the decisions that affect their futures.
