The Pathway to Independence Scholarship provides a bridge to curiosity, creativity, and mastery for new MCMS students entering first or second grade with prior experience with Montessori education.
Families who choose Montessori at the elementary level recognize its dedication to supporting child development and providing opportunities to discover academics through interest and curiosity. They seek an environment that fosters independence, collaboration and service. The Pathway to Independence Scholarship supports this journey by awarding a child with coverage of up to 50% of tuition for the first year.
