The 1st Private Montessori Middle School in Oakland County

Respecting these adolescent developmental demands, our Montessori middle school pairs rigorous academics with project work based in real-life and structure study in a social setting. Through Project-Based Learning, our students experience the applied purpose of math, science, humanities and language in their real-life projects, connecting their learning to the adult-world they are entering.  

The various projects culminate in a vibrant, student-led micro economy. Engineering, building, sculpting, growing, harvesting, sales and marketing, public speaking, physical activities, designing and budgeting are natural areas of work each student contributes to their microcosm, student community. 

Across the curriculum, students participate in group-presentations and are encouraged to debate, defend, share, assert, converse, and challenge the presented content. The expectation is to “collaborate; don’t separate”. Students practice acceptance and equity, sharing responsibility and accountability.
