    I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because I am passionate about non-traditional education. I feel that education should be rooted in support of the whole-child through a warm environment where children experience inclusivity, engaging instruction, and a safe place to be themselves. I believe that CMS can create a space in which children foster a love for learning that is empowering and joyful. I want to teach where strength is found in community; that is why I chose CMS.

    I am dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because of its willingness and ability to protect its students, grow with them within their strengths and abilities and ensure their success while following through with the Montessori learning experience. Collective Montessori has widened my perspective of inclusivity, showing the true meaning of “Different people need different things to be successful”, and how to fully embrace that in the school setting.

    I am deeply dedicated to the Collective Montessori community because of its inclusive and nurturing environment, which celebrates the individuality of each child. The school’s commitment to embracing children with diverse needs, backgrounds, and learning styles resonates with my own values of equity, respect, and personal growth. I believe in the power of Montessori’s child-centered approach to empower every student to thrive at their own pace, fostering not only academic excellence but also emotional and social development. The sense of belonging and mutual respect within the Collective Montessori community allows each child to feel valued and supported, making it a place where every learner can reach their fullest potential, no matter their challenges or differences.
