MMS is first and foremost a community. As a Montessori school we embrace the vision Maria Montessori held for education and understand that learning is the ultimate tool with which we will build a peaceful world. As a community of life-long learners, we meet the needs of students from birth through age eighteen and sincerely hope that the spark of learning burns brightly in the homes of all our families.

Meadow Montessori enrolls 200 students each year who represent the racial, economic, and religious diversity of Monroe County and the surrounding communities. Families have traveled to our location from points as far as Grosse Pointe, Ann Arbor, Adrian, and Toledo, Ohio, which simply demonstrates the appeal of Meadow Montessori to a broad range of families.

We believe people from different races, cultures, socio-economic backgrounds, genders, physical capacities, and religions are sources of strength that enrich teaching and learning at Meadow Montessori. We build a diverse learning community by acknowledging that different ideas, beliefs, personal gifts, life experiences, and talents are essential to our community.

We accept new students on an eight-week trial basis. At the end of that period, the directress and administrator will determine whether or not the child will benefit from our program. If it is determined that both MMS and the child will not benefit from continued involvement, a conference is scheduled for the parents or guardians, directress, and administrator. If the child is withdrawn at the request of the school or parents, no tuition will be refunded. We recommend that parents participate in the tuition insurance program.
