What does “classic” Montessori mean at FCMS?

FCMS provides a Pre-K through 6th grade Montessori educational experience. Our program strives to be a classic Montessori program within the environment of a public charter school.

Key elements of this model include:

• Full three-year cycles beginning at age three.
• Uninterrupted work periods at all levels.
• A fully integrated curriculum including art and music.
• A full day program for the Primary Level (ages 3-6).
• Minimal use of supplementary material at the Primary Level.
• rained Montessori teachers (“Guides”) and assistants in every classroom.
• A full complement of Montessori materials in all classrooms.
• Montessori trained and experienced leadership.
