Philadelphia Montessori Charter School

Philadelphia Montessori Charter School (PMCS) excels at providing children in Kindergarten through 4th grade with a Montessori education in an environment that nurtures the whole child, celebrates inclusion, embraces innovation, and encourages collaboration with families. PMCS ignites the internal spark that leads to social, emotional and academic success. The purpose of PMCS goes beyond helping students to acquire basic academic skills. Rather, the focus of the curriculum is on "education for life," on developing character and self-esteem. Montessori schools give children the sense of belonging to a family and help them learn how to live with other human beings. The goal is for the child to graduate with both academic skills and with a sense of independence, inner peace, and security.
