|  | About CMS Mission & Philosophy Our Mission
Cambridge Montessori School encourages independent, self-directed learning for life in a child-centered, international community valuing peace, respect for others and pride in individual differences.
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-four months through fifteen years of age 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.
