Apply Now! MMCI Enrollment Update for 2026–2027

Monocacy Valley Montessori (MVMPCS) has expanded capacity across all levels for the 2026–2027 school year and is continuing to accept lottery applications. This is a rare opportunity to land a seat during a growth year!

Carroll Creek Montessori (CCMPCS) is also excited to relocate next school year to Yellow Springs Elementary (8717 Yellow Springs Rd). As families finalize plans for the upcoming school year, additional openings may become available at CCM throughout the summer months.

Why Montessori?

Montessori education offers:
- Hands-on, student-centered learning
- Multi-age classrooms
- A focus on independence, responsibility, and critical thinking
- A nurturing community environment

Even students who join Montessori in 7th or 8th grade often experience a noticeable boost in confidence, independence, and engagement with learning. Many students thrive in the smaller, relationship-focused community and quickly adapt to the collaborative, hands-on approach that encourages curiosity, leadership, and personal growth.
