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 fundraising events, the proceeds from which provide scholarship opportunities for children in our community.
Thanks to your support as a sponsor, we are able to continue offering scholarships, you are truly amazing!
We need more community partners, join us!
Our students
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. 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.
Be our community partner
Today, your support as an MSR Community Partner makes it possible for us to continue our mission of educating the whole child.
