The energy is back on campus!

Our senior and academic leadership team is back this week, and they are hitting the ground running. From preparing for full-staff training next week to collaborating on exciting programmatic enhancements to thinking strategically about how our new mission and values come to life in our students' everyday experience, there is a lot of momentum at TMS.

They’re also planning and putting in the work to make our campus an even more inspiring place to learn and grow.

We’re especially excited to see all of this work taking shape under the leadership of our new Head of School, Jonathan Fouser.

We can’t wait to share what’s ahead, get ready for an incredible year at TMS.

We are accepting applications for our Montessori Preschool and Kindergarten Program! Book a tour today. Financial aid is available.

There are so many benefits to a Montessori early childhood program:

1. A Montessori curriculum is child-centered: The Montessori approach instills an inherent love of learning - all children are given the freedom and encouragement to develop at their own pace, all while becoming active participants in their learning journeys.

2. Children enjoy a holistic learning experience. From sensory activities to practical life skills-
Montessori classrooms are designed to support cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

3. The Montessori classroom is referred to as the prepared environment. It is a meaningfully structured, beautifully calm learning space where everything has a purpose and a place.

4. We value PLAY. Structured and unstructured play is essential for human development. A Montessori curriculum is a fantastic way to ensure your children have fun with their education. Whether it’s playing with developmental materials, taking part in dress-ups, water play, looking over learning stories or more, there is an endless selection of experiences involving learning through activity that will engage and delight any child.

5. Our teachers are a gift. We are so excited to announce that we have three fully trained and certified Montessori teachers. All have completed specialized training programs accredited by the American Montessori Society.
