School Notes
- Exciting news! Midcities Montessori is proud to announce that we will be transitioning to a Continuous Learning Calendar for the 2023-2024 school year! This innovative schedule offers many benefits to our students and staff, and we can't wait to see the positive impact it will have on our school community.By implementing a Continuous Learning Calendar with a shorter summer break and more frequent breaks throughout the year, our goal is to see students retain what they have learned and to provide them with more opportunities for enrichment and experiential learning on a grander scale.Our priority is to provide the best possible education for our students and the best work environment for our staff. Because of the lasting effects of learning deficits during the COVID-19 shutdown, and an average of 11+ weeks off during the summer, the traditional school calendar no longer makes sense for the modern student. Additional benefits to our teachers, allowing them to balance their academic work with other important aspects of their lives, giving them more opportunities for planning and personal time throughout the year. We believe that education should be engaging, inspiring, and enjoyable. That's why we offer a holistic approach to education that focuses on developing the whole student, including their social, emotional, and physical well-being. Our small class sizes and student-centered approach allow us to tailor our curriculum to the unique needs of each student, ensuring that every child receives the support they need to thrive. The Continuous Learning Calendar is another piece of that puzzle. We still have a few spots available for students in grades Pre-K through High School and are currently scheduling tours with open enrollment. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to join our school community and experience the benefits of a Continuous Learning Calendar!

This is among my top three BEST EVER decisions in child-rearing. Period. I taught Kindergarten for ten years at a public school, and when I decided to have my own child I thought about homeschooling, but honestly, Midcities Montessori is the best of both worlds. Extreme individualized attention and lesson plans are mixed with social interaction in respectful and cooperative ways that are true to life in the real world. This is everything that I hoped for in a school, and what's more, they are completely unassuming, humble, and caring which may be quite different from a typical "private school" feel. My son is already surpassing what many Kindergartners can do and he is only three years old. It is also peace of mind knowing that I can keep him in a consistent place all the way through high school, which is sometimes hard to find in the Montessori World...I am beyond impressed.

Mid cities Montessori has been a great experience. We've been a Montessori family for 6 years. I love that my son will have consistency through high school. He's come out of his shell & enjoys going to school. He'll be starting 3rd grade in the fall!

My daughter is on the High School program at Mid cities Montessori. She is learning real life skills along with college dual credit courses and basic hands on curriculum. She LOVES going to school.

WOW! I can't say enough about Mid cities Montessori! It is refreshing to find a school that cares so deeply about a child's well being and education! From tots to teens you won't find a better environment for your child to learn! And that goes beyond the classroom!! I would highly recommend Mid cities Montessori!

My son attends the high school program at Mid cities Montessori and absolutely loves it. The school has a focus on learning how to be an adult, instead of learning how to pass a STAR test. The staff is incredible and my son looks forward to going to school everyday. The classes are small so each student receives individual instruction from the teacher. The high school students are also enrolled in TCC and will begin taking dual credit classes in the fall. As a parent, I would recommend the high school program here to anyone seeking to prepare their teen to be a successful adult.

After working a decade in the corporate world, and another 7 years as a public school teacher/administrator, I can honestly say that Mid Cities Montessori offers the best educational opportunities to prepare your child for the real world. Classes are small and have a home school feel while still giving students the chance to socialize and interact with others. Students can enroll in Dual Credit classes through TCC, allowing them to earn high school AND college credit for the same work, with the support of a mentor (teacher) walking them through the college process. Ideally, high school students will graduate with a full year of college credit under their belt. Real life skills are also incorporated into the curriculum- financial literacy like budgeting and taxes, cooking classes, and resume-writing/interviewing. In 2019 we even represented Texas at the National Life smarts contest in Orlando, Florida where we showed off some of that "real world knowledge" in a Jeopardy-style competition against students from around the country. Our goal is that Mid Cities Montessori students graduate as responsible, informed and independent young adults. If you are looking for a high quality education that prepares your child for the real world in a family-style atmosphere come and visit us at Mid Cities Montessori.
