Gulfside Montessori Christian School of Ocean Springs

Upper Elementary has just returned from an incredible camping adventure, and we couldn’t be more proud of their growth and accomplishments!
At Gulfside Montessori, our camping trips are more than just time outdoors—they’re an extension of the classroom. Students take ownership of the entire experience, from studying maps and researching campgrounds to planning meals within a budget. Every step is thoughtfully prepared by the students themselves.
During the trip, they build essential life skills by pitching their own tents, building fires, cooking meals together, and taking responsibility for cleanup. Through hiking and exploration, they deepen their understanding of botany, zoology, and the natural world, while also engaging in journaling and artistic reflection.
These experiences foster problem-solving, teamwork, and social-emotional growth in meaningful, real-world ways. Students learn to rely on one another, adapt to challenges, and take pride in their independence.
Camping is a cherished tradition for both our Upper Elementary and Secondary students, offering opportunities each year to grow, connect, and thrive beyond the classroom.

Our secondary students at Gulfside Montessori have been hard at work preparing for their Makers Market - and here is a sneak peek! From budgeting and pricing to designing and creating their own unique products, they’ve taken on every step of the entrepreneurial process.

Come out and support their creativity, dedication, and innovation!

Our elementary students have been on an incredible journey through time and space! 🌎✨
Using the Montessori Timeline of Astronomy, they’ve been exploring how humanity’s understanding of the universe has evolved across civilizations. From archaeoastronomy - discovering how ancient cultures observed the skies - to ancient astronomy in civilizations like Ancient Egypt and Maya civilization, students have been uncovering how the stars guided calendars, navigation, and daily life.
Their studies have also taken them into the era of groundbreaking discoveries by astronomers such as Galileo Galilei and Edwin Hubble, leading into the exciting world of modern astronomy and space exploration. They’ve been learning about major space missions from NASA and even examining images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope.
To deepen their understanding, students have been completing research projects, creating models, and presenting their findings - bringing history, science, and creativity together in true Montessori fashion.
We are so proud of their curiosity, critical thinking, and enthusiasm as they explore the universe and our place within it! 🚀🌟
