Our Mission and Vision

Our Mission at CMS

Work the Mind. Reveal the Child. Unleash the Potential. 

Our Philosophy

Cambridge Montessori School was founded in 1963 to foster a love of learning and to educate children to be caring, socially responsible citizens of their community and world. The educational and supplemental care programs at CMS involve children from twenty-one months through grade 8 in four different programs: Toddler, Primary, Elementary and Middle School. CMS seeks to educate the whole child, applying the Montessori philosophy, in a family-oriented environment. The philosophy is based on the principles of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) whose holistic vision of education focuses on the cognitive, social, emotional and physical needs of the child. For Dr. Montessori, and for CMS, education is preparation for life.

We love that CMS is a close-knit community, with excellent leadership and rich diversity. We appreciate that as a family we have been able to contribute in a variety of ways. We also love how CMS is providing the opportunity for our two children to build an academic and practical life foundation based on mastering concepts in a concrete and abstract way at their own pace. CMS has kept our kids challenged and excited about learning which is a testament to how CMS executes the Montessori method.
Located in the heart of Cambridge, MA, CMS is a private school serving children eighteen months through grade 8 in four distinct programs: Toddler, Primary, Elementary and Middle School. CMS educates the whole child, applying the Montessori philosophy in a joyful learning environment.
