Rise to the occasion for education!

Since our founding in 1976, more than 1,000 children have gotten their start at Mountaineer Montessori.

The love of learning ignited during their time here has propelled these students to go far and aim high. No matter where their paths lead, the Montessori magic continues to empower their potential and inspire a bright future for themselves, their communities and our world.

As a community-based non-profit organization, MMS is grateful for the partnership of families, alumni and community friends to sustain this tradition and fuel tomorrows for today's students, currently 180 ages 2-14.

On Saturday, June 3, we will present "The Journey of a Lifetime Starts Here," our annual spring gala. The event is a major fundraiser providing essential funding for teacher training and appreciation, facilities, and financial aid--more than $72,000 in tuition grants and scholarships to Charleston families in 2022-23.

The evening will feature entertainment by Vinyl Village, Minor Swing and Sonji Byers-Baldwin; passed hors d’oeuvres, wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages; and auctions of student art works and other exclusive prizes, hosted by Jim Strawn, master of ceremonies. 

At MMS, potential is empowered and the future is inspired. With your support, we can continue to elevate education and community by nurturing what the world needs now.
