The Gift of Montessori Education
About
MSR Spirit of the Child Alliance was Founded in 2021 to give the gift of Montessori education by awarding scholarships for the students of The Montessori School Rochester, The MSR.
Approximately 25% of the students at The MSR receive some form of financial assistance, thanks to you and our Community Partners, we can offer this support to more families every year.
You make it happen
In support of the Alliance, each year we host a Gala and a Golf Outing, the proceeds from which provide scholarship opportunities for children in our community.
Because of your generosity and support, in 2022, we were able to almost double the number of students benefitted.
2023 Reaching for the Stars Gala
Our Annual Gala, which celebrates each of you and our Spirit of the Child Alliance, is fast approaching on May 20, 2023 at 7pm at the M1 Concourse in Pontiac, MI.
This year, all guests will be attending at no cost!
Because entry is complimentary, fundraising is even more important this year.

Our community
Our students participate in Project-Based Learning and experience the applied purpose of math, science, humanities, and language in their projects which culminates in a vibrant, student-led micro economy.
Engineering, growth, harvest, sales and marketing, public speaking and budgeting are all natural areas of work for each student to contribute to.
Project-Based Learning challenges students’ growing imagination, accelerating academic progress while offering opportunities for social growth.
Change makers of the future
Across the curriculum, students partake in group-presentations to debate, defend, share, assert, converse, and challenge presented content. The expectation is to “collaborate; don’t separate.” Students practice acceptance and equity, sharing responsibility and accountability.
Our ethnically diverse population of students and staff represents cultures from every continent. Our commitment to equity, diversity, individuality, and humanity grows ever deeper as we watch our students arise into their potential and prepare to become change makers in the future.
We are inclusive and diverse
Our mixed-age classrooms are comprised of beautifully diverse and divergent learners. Autism, ADHD/ADD, Down Syndrome, Cognitive Impairment, Gifted, Neurotypical, etc., all of whom are welcome and have equal opportunities and quality of education.
Classrooms are like a quilt, a patchwork of beautiful individual contributions that, together, create a thriving community that exceeds state academic standards.
