AMI was founded in 1929 by
Dr. Maria Montessori to ensure the authentic continuation of her educational
philosophy and methodology. All of the teachers at CMS have undergone a
rigorous academic year of training beyond their undergraduate degree. In
addition, the faculty and school are re-evaluated yearly by AMI to ensure
the highest standard in Montessori education. The students enrolled at CMS benefit from continuous professional
development of the teachers and high standards set by AMI.
