WE LET CHILDREN EXPLORE THE WORLD AND BUILD PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS.
The Montessori curriculum encourages students to be independent thinkers and problem solvers while understanding that they are an important part of the whole community.

WE FOSTER A SENSE OF COMMUNITY THROUGH SERVICE-LEARNING, ATHLETICS AND EXTRA-CURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES.
Students help conduct fundraisers for organizations and charities and as students mature and rise in grade level, they have the opportunity to mentor and tutor younger students. Students in grades four through eight can also be members of clubs that have an emphasis on service learning.
Middle school athletics are provided as an opportunity for students to build skills, learn who they are, and get valuable experience of being on a team. Many students choose to be on different teams throughout the year.
There are vibrant arts opportunities like choir, band, dancing and performance that are offered throughout the academic year.

WE ARE PREPARING STUDENTS FOR HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.
CMA prepares students for high school and college by teaching them to be independent learners, responsible for their own schedules and assignments. Students are taught as early as first grade to manage time using planners and personal time management skills.
