2015 Charter School of the Year – Mission Montessori Academy

Mission Montessori Academy strives to help their students grow into peacemakers, compassionate stewards of the planet and global citizens.

The school’s Global Education Program is central to this mission, with an emphasis on teaching students to understand global issues and find ways to help solve the world’s challenges.

However, Mission Montessori students don’t just learn these lessons in the classroom, they live it.

The students have traveled to China, Switzerland and Rome to practice these lessons and accomplish the program’s goals while gaining a deeper understanding of different cultures, religions and backgrounds. They’re scheduled to head to Chile later this school year.

This focus, along with the school’s high academic standing, is one of the main reasons Mission Montessori our 2015 Charter School of the Year.
