The Corpus Christi Montessori School began as a search by four parents for a favorable educational option for their young children after leaving the Montessori primary level school experience. In this way, their search led them to create the Montessori Association of South Texas and in August of 2005, the Corpus Christi Montessori School.
The school’s focus is to help students achieve scholastic and personal success in a process of learning by discovery that brings out joy and confidence in each individual child. The program includes a wide age range through each level, from lower elementary (grades 1 to 3), Upper Elementary, (grades 4 to 6) and Middle School (grade 7 and 8).
Over the years, the school has gained experience and stability as it encourages staff to explore and develop teaching skills to improve and continue their personal and professional growth. In April 2007, 16 of their staff attended an IMS workshop in the area conducted by Lee Havis. While in the area, Lee had an opportunity to personally visit the school and interact more closely with these teachers. Future plans are to maintain and improve the campus grounds and expand their classroom facilities in order to enable more student body growth.
