History

Established in 1963.

Cambridge Montessori School was founded in 1963 to foster a love of learning and to educate children to be caring, socially responsible citizens of their community and world. The educational and supplemental care programs at CMS involve children from twenty-​four months through fifteen years of age in four different programs: Toddler, Primary Elementary and Middle School. CMS seeks to educate the whole child, applying the Montessori philosophy, in a family-​oriented environment. The philosophy is based on the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870 – 1952) whose holistic vision of education focuses on the cognitive, social, emotional and physical needs of the child. For Dr. Montessori, and for CMS, education is preparation for life.
