The mission of Mountain Shadows International Montessori School is to provide an AMI Montessori environment in which children joyfully reach their full potential through the development of independence, academic excellence, respect for the environment, respect for self and others, and a moral responsibility to society.

In the spirit of Gala Under the Gondola, we gather to lift our school to new heights. As a nonprofit, community-centered school, all funds raised during this event directly support our Financial Aid Fund, expanding access to an environment that honors each child for who they are and all they are becoming. At MSIMS, we believe the child is the foundation and source of our path upward, full of promise and hope.

"The child is endowed with unknown powers, which can guide us to a radiant future. If what we really want is a new world, then education must take as its aim the development of these hidden possibilities." --Dr. Maria Montessori

This celebration is an expression of what becomes possible when mission meets community. When our shared belief in the next generation unites us and carries us forward. Your support helps create a peaceful vision of a world where children are nurtured, empowered, and given the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you for being part of our journey and this important effort, elevated by love and unwavering belief in the boundless potential of every child.

Cheers to seizing the ascent!
