Community Impact
At Montessori Country School, our roots run deep in the Bainbridge Island community, where for more than 50 years we have championed holistic, child-centered education that extends far beyond our classroom walls. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of families, friends, and partners to advance our mission: nurturing self-mastery, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning in every student we serve.
Building a Thriving Community
Montessori Country School is more than an educational institution—it's a beacon for families seeking a nurturing, inclusive, and innovative environment for their children. Each year, we:
Provide need-based tuition assistance, helping dozens of local families access high-quality Montessori education regardless of financial means.
Host and support community events such as Earth Day celebrations, International Day of Peace, and family learning workshops, bringing together students, parents, and neighbors to foster connection and shared purpose.
Empower students to undertake community-focused projects—from peace-building presentations to environmental sustainability efforts—building empathy, leadership, and a sense of global citizenship.
Meeting Needs Beyond the Classroom
In response to evolving community needs, MCS has continually adapted and expanded its support for children and families, including:
-
Distributing educational and wellness resources to families during times of need and transition.
-
Creating nature-based learning opportunities that promote resilience, environmental stewardship, and mental wellbeing.
-
Supporting working families with flexible programming, extended care, and parent support networks.
