See what we’re up to!


Mission Montessori School (MMS) believes that every child deserves a strong foundational education that ignites creativity and a lifelong love of learning. We do not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, ability, religion, or sex. We believe that God has created everyone in His unique image, and as such deserves compassion, dignity, and a sense of place and purpose. MMS is designed to communicate these things to every child that walks through our doors.
