Mountain Shadows International Montessori School

MSIMS is growing—and we’d love to grow with your family!

Opening this August, our Nido classroom is designed to provide infants with the ideal space to explore, grow, and thrive at their own pace. If you're seeking a peaceful, authentic Montessori environment for your baby's crucial first years, our doors are opening soon! We currently have enrollment spots available, but space is limited to ensure personalized care.

If you want to learn more or schedule an information session please visit our website, www.mountainshadows.org, or give us a call at (303) 530-5353 today!

There is nothing quite like the warmth of a community coming together to celebrate its children. Yesterday, we gathered for our Continuation Ceremony to honor the big leaps, quiet growth, and incredible accomplishments of our students— thank you all for joining us and cheering them on. 🌿

From our YCC and Lower El friends moving on up to our Kindergarten and Sixth Grade graduates wrapping up their Primary and Elementary Montessori chapters, we are overflowing with pride. To the families who walk alongside us, the educators who guide with heart, and the students who inspire us daily: thank you for making our school community the beautiful village that it is.

Here’s to the independent thinkers, compassionate leaders, and joyful learners of tomorrow. 🚀

A few of our Lower Elementary students went on a “going out” yesterday! 🌎✨

In Montessori, going out is a student-led experience where children venture into the community to explore, learn, connect, and contribute beyond the classroom walls. Yesterday, that meant delivering donations to the Humane Society and learning more about caring for animals and serving our greater community. 🐾💛

We are so proud of these compassionate students and their desire to give back! 🐶🐱

Yesterday’s Family Day Picnic was such a beautiful celebration of connection, community, and the joy of simply being together. In honor of the United Nations International Day of Families, we were reminded that families in all forms are the heart of a child’s world and the foundation of a strong, compassionate community.

Watching our students laugh, play, share meals, and spend time with the people they love most was incredibly meaningful. Thank you to all of our families for helping create such a warm and joyful afternoon together. We are so grateful for this community and the care, partnership, and love that surrounds our children each day. 💛

More photos and videos coming next week! 😁

We are so proud of you. 🎓

A beautiful gathering honoring 6th year graduates following their impressive capstone presentations. These brilliant children have completed their Montessori Elementary cycle with curiosity, intellect, confidence, and heart.

We are deeply grateful for the families and educators who have walked beside them throughout this journey. The future is bright. 💡

Today is your LAST CHANCE to grab tickets for The Icon Era Gala! If you’re tired of the same old sit-down fundraisers, you’re in the right place. We’re taking over Winner’s Circle in Longmont for the ultimate 90s bash—all for an amazing cause.

We chose Winner’s Circle because it’s built for play. We’re leaning into the venue’s high-energy atmosphere to bring you a night of:

🎮 Interactive Fun: High-score chasing in the arcade and games that bring out your inner ‘90s kid— whether you wanna practice your axe throwing or strike out in bowling, The Winner’s Circle has something for everyone!
🕺 Nostalgia in Overdrive: Curated 90s vibes, from unforgettable tunes to totally off the hook decor, will make you feel like you stepped through a portal to 1996!
🍽️ Dine, Drink & Bid: Incredible food and signature cocktails paired with a silent auction that’s actually exciting! This is your chance to unlock exclusive experiences, stunning student-created projects, and more goodies than we can count.

At the heart of all this fun is a deep commitment to MSIMS. Just like the interactive environment at Winner’s Circle, our school focuses on hands-on, joyful learning. Every ticket purchased helps us empower our students to become the icons, leaders, and thinkers of the future.

Come for the impact, stay for the party. Click the link in bio or visit our website to grab your tickets before they are gone for good!
