Help Us Build Gallatin Valley’s First Montessori Middle School

We’re launching a community capital campaign to build Gallatin Valley’s very first Montessori Middle School — a place where independent thinkers, compassionate leaders, and lifelong learners will thrive.

Your support does more than build a school. It helps create a learning environment where adolescents are empowered through trust, responsibility, and meaningful, purpose-driven work.

Why a Montessori Middle School?

The middle school years are a critical stage of development — and a unique opportunity to extend the Montessori approach into adolescence. Our middle school students will:

Engage in interdisciplinary, project-based learning
Build leadership and citizenship skills through real-world experiences
Take part in community-based learning that promotes independence, purpose, and service

Even families without middle schoolers will see the benefits. These students will mentor younger children, enrich our school community, and reinforce the multi-age learning environment that defines MCM.

Montessori education empowers adolescents with:

Academic excellence through hands-on, integrated learning
Social-emotional development and executive functioning skills
Leadership rooted in service and meaningful contribution

How You Can Help

This project is already in motion. After thoughtful planning, permitting, and collaboration between our administration and board, we’ve secured a bank loan and are ready to begin construction. Now we’re asking our community to help close the gap — and bring this vision to life.

Your donation today will help us:

Manage construction costs before the school opens
Build a dedicated middle school facility
Furnish classrooms with Montessori materials, furniture, and technology
Sustain an educational model that fosters independence, leadership, and curiosity

Make a gift today and be part of something lasting.
Together, we can create a school that will benefit MCM families and the greater Gallatin Valley for generations to come.
