Chesterfield Montessori School

Chesterfield Montessori School is the only St. Louis area school that is both recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and also accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Central States. CMS offers AMI Montessori programs for children ages 16 months through 12 years. The school is situated on a five-acre campus with playgrounds, tennis and basketball courts and a children’s organic garden. The Elementary students also regularly explore the greater St. Louis area to support their research and artistic pursuits. Peaceful, mixed-age classrooms are equipped with the full range of hands-on Montessori materials, which interconnect all disciplines and provide stimulating challenges that meet the cognitive, emotional and social needs of each child. Highly-trained teachers ensure that every student is challenged and nurtured in a way that best serves his/her developmental needs. The resulting benefits for the child are self-confidence, enthusiasm for learning, lengthened attention span and good coordination, as well as a solid foundation for future academic endeavors. Over 90% of our Elementary alumni attend their first choice secondary school.
