Why ?

Our students experience an academically stimulating curriculum that can keep pace with their interests and learning style.

Here, children gain skills in award winning programs including athletics, technology, foreign language, studio art, and music.

We focus on a Growth Mindset; developing children's work ethic, stamina, frustration tolerance, and helping them to grow emotionally and socially.

Personalized Instruction

We know that learning is never linear, so we meet children where they are. We give children the right lesson at the right time, so they are supported when needed and given space to excel when they crave it.

This is exactly what school should be.

This is how we raise young adults.


Our Programs

We offer programs for children 18 months through 8th grade.

How to Apply

The first step in the admission process is to fill out the inquiry. When the inquiry is received by our Director of Admission, she will review it with the Admissions Committee. 

If the Admissions Committee feels that MMS may be a good fit for your family (we enroll families, not just children!), you will be contacted to schedule a Parent Tour of the school.

After the parent-only tour, we require all applicants to have a student visit in an effort to assess a good fit.

Last year, when we ordered Jonathon Haidt’s then-new book, The Anxious Generation, we knew it would be a seminal book based on its topic, and it also confirmed that our instincts about technology use among children have been spot on. Haidt proposes four norms that can help restore children to a healthy childhood despite the creep of technology into every area of their lives. At MMS, we had already adopted those norms by 2008, when we became among the very first paperless elementary and middle schools in the nation, earning us recognition as one of six “Schools of the Future,” by the National Association of Independent Schools. Through foresight and implementing these norms over the last fifteen years, we have been able to hold back the tide of problems other schools have had to address. While we are a high-tech school, it should be clear that our version of tech training doesn’t include ‘passive screen time.’ At Milwaukee Montessori, technology is not a distraction, but a sophisticated tool for intellectual development, creativity, and academic excellence.
