What the parents say:
"PCMS is the best! They truly care about the students, not only academically, but also by teaching students to be well-rounded."
- Hazel S.
"I love this school because it really feels like they care: the principal, the secretary, the school nurse, the school counselor, the teachers, whoever I’m talking to, always gives me the feeling that they have a personal relationship with my kids and want the best for them. Nothing beats that feeling when you go to your child’s school ♥️"
- Nadia I.
"PCMS is the perfect blend. Our son is thriving academically, but also spends time learning about the world, art, and music. Best of all, he's allowed to move! The Montessori environment allows kids to work at his/her own pace and learn independence."
-Katie K.
"My husband and I were so happy to have found PCMS - a public school grounded in and based on Montessori teaching, where the students learn responsibility for themselves and each other and grow, academically and socially, together. Its small size and class composition allows me to know a wider range of my daughter's classmates and their parents, and my daughter is able to stretch her whole self - intellectually, physically, and artistically. It's been a great fit!"
-Gretchen S.
PCMS is a school where each child is appreciated for their unique gifts. Our kids have grown up in this nurturing environment which rewards independence, kindness and hard work. We are thankful to the dedicated teachers and staff who value our children learning and growing at their own developmentally-appropriate pace.

"PCMS has been an outstanding environment for my child to grow and learn in; she wakes up eager to go to school every day. The staff and administration always have the students’ best interest in mind and have done a great job adapting through the challenges of learning in a pandemic. It has been a joy seeing the confidence and independence my child has gained thus far in her years at PCMS. One of her favorite aspects of Montessori is having choices in her daily work and being able to collaborate with her peers. As a parent, I appreciate the emphasis on practical life skills and cultural studies to help her grow into a capable and empathetic adult. Our family is very grateful to PCMS and will continue to recommend and support this wonderful school."
