Accreditation:

Photo of Montessori School in Lexington, KYCMS is approved (and certified as a non-public school) by the Kentucky Department of Education as well as the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and is staffed by fully trained and AMI accredited Montessori teachers.

Mission:
CMS maintains the highest standards of academic excellence and dedication to the individual needs of the student. Our aim is to provide a carefully planned environment in which the student will learn and grow.

The Community Montessori School directs all of the efforts and talents of its staff to the development of a total education program. Education, in all its varied forms, is seen as an aid to life. The principles of Dr. Maria Montessori provide the framework for program development in all areas.

While academic development is an essential component in a person’s development, academics are seen as a necessary tool rather than the ultimate goals of Montessori education towards the total development of the child.

The Montessori Method:

The Montessori classroom is a highly organized, enriched environment designed to stimulate children's interests and facilitate their understanding and learning.

While children learn at their own pace, they do so in a carefully structured manner, guided by a highly skilled AMI trained and Certified Montessori Teacher/Guide, using specially developed materials and programs designed for each stage of their mental, physical, social and emotional growth.

The basic idea in the Montessori philosophy of education is that every child carries unseen within him or her, the person that he or she will become. In order to develop the physical, intellectual and spiritual powers to the fullest, each child must have freedom – freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline.

The world of the child is full of sights and sounds that at first appear chaotic. From this chaos, the child must gradually create order and learn to distinguish among the impressions that assail his or her senses; slowly but surely gaining mastery of him or herself and his or her environment.
