Hello CMS family! 

We are asking for your investment in the future of Classen Montessori School through our new initiative, the Friends of CMS annual giving campaign. The focus of this campaign is to fund enhancements to the CMS experience not already covered by tuition such as new curriculum and technology for the classrooms, activities like archery and Montessori Model United Nations, program expansions, and more. 

We are growing at a rate we couldn’t have imagined 5 years ago. An annual fund will give us the flexibility to continue to learn, think, and grow – and fast! But we need you. Tuition covers the bare minimum of educating your child like staffing, facilities, and supplies. Unlike public schools, we do not receive tax dollars. After our expenses, there are no dollars remaining to add enriching programming, resources, or improvements to the campus. 

Your support would allow us to increase the educational opportunities available to students without the need to consistently raise tuition or wait for the budget cycle in order to allocate needed funds. An investment in the Friends of CMS annual giving fund is an investment in our students and their success. 

We are thankful for how this community has risen to the challenges we’ve faced the last few years. As we continue to grow together, we sincerely hope you will stand by our side – contributing your valuable time, remarkable talents, and treasure to shape the bright future of our school.

Can we count on your family to pledge $1,000 each year for the next five years?  This may seem overwhelming at first glance, but when broken down, it is just $83 per month.  $83 a month from your family will allow CMS to expand programming, retire debt from the expanded Upper Elementary and Middle School program, and offer new programs currently not budgeted.
