The Montessori School of Wooster is proud to foster self-confidence and creative thinking in an environment of peace, respect, and compassion. Will you invest in the future of our school, our students, and our families through a contribution to the Annual Fund? 

This academic year, we have witnessed incredible growth and achievement among our students. The Montessori philosophy, with its focus on independence, self-directed learning, and hands-on exploration, continues to shape inquisitive minds that are well-prepared for the challenges of the future. However, it takes the support of our donors to make this dream a reality. 

Tuition is a serious financial commitment for our families; however, it is insufficient to sustain our school. The Annual Fund not only sustains many of the extras, it’s a vital part of the day-to-day functioning of the school and our cash flow.  Among other things, a strong 2023 Annual Fund campaign will allow us to, among other things:

  • Fund additional staff and teacher training and professional development.

  • Retain staff through increases in salaries and bonuses.

  • Fund necessary upgrades to our facilities.

  • Address deferred maintenance, repairs, and replacements.

  • Plan for a playground project campaign through funding of professional design services.

  • Provide extra classroom resources.

We hope that gifts to the Annual Fund will be accessible to more Montessori families this year, as many will receive EdChoice benefits for the first time. The minimum EdChoice voucher is $615, with most families receiving between $1,330 to $6,150. If you are among families receiving assistance, please consider leaving some --or all-- of the remaining funds with the school.  

These achievements are not possible without significant annual giving from partners like you.

Donate

Thanks to continued support from people like you, we have been able to keep our tuition levels at half of the national average of this country’s Montessori schools. 

Your donation, no matter how large or small, will help keep tuition down and continue growing high achieving individuals who care about and contribute to their communities, and who will continue to love to learn, long after they graduate.

Today our school operates at full enrollment during the pandemic.   Your generous support in the past has allowed us to implement the necessary changes to remain open and to offer a safe alternative for staff and students.  This year-more than ever – we face uncertain times with additional expenses.  We strive to be a peaceful, safe, and welcoming home for our students, families, and staff.  We continue to do this on-site five days a week and have hired additional staff to maintain a low student-teacher ratio.
