Dear MMS Families and Friends,

There are many reasons families choose Milwaukee Montessori School, but perhaps the most important considerations are the strength of the academic program, the extraordinary levels of student achievement and our attention to individualized student learning. Our unique curriculum combines experience-based Montessori methods with the technology, teamwork, and creative skills that we know are critical for success today, and our extraordinary faculty has the education and experience to build these skills in our students. The elevated curriculum, high expectations, and individualized attention ultimately lead to stellar achievement, and in fact Milwaukee Montessori School’s program is so strong that schools across the nation look to us for methods and advice.

Another important reason families choose MMS is the cultural, racial, and economic diversity of our students and faculty. This diversity enriches our learning environment by giving students experience drawing on the breadth of thought that is essential for successful problem solving. With our emphasis on teamwork,

students from varied backgrounds work, grow in trust, build friendships, and succeed together. Their families too are united in the belief that a Milwaukee Montessori School education is the best investment for meeting future challenges.

Our philosophy is that success comes largely from hard work - not luck, privilege, or ‘giftedness’ - and we instill this value by helping students develop their work stamina and competencies. Unlike traditional schools, MMS faculty members have extensive training in carefully recognizing and developing each child’s proficiencies without requiring them to learn skills at the same time or in the same ways. Students love the challenge, and they face the future eager to take on worthwhile opportunities undaunted by the hard work required. In fact, Milwaukee Montessori School graduates are recruited to attend the finest high schools in the world, bringing skills that distinguish them from their peers. Beyond this, our alumni successfully attend elite colleges and graduate schools, reporting engagement in exciting careers and civic activities.

Monica Van Aken, Ed.D. Kate Lewis Head of School President, Board of Trustees

Our Board of Trustees works to ensure the future of our school and future generations of students. Serving in an oversight role, the Board has one employee – the Head of School.

With a membership of parents and non-parents, our board members are vetted for skill sets that serve our general mission and strategic goals. Board members are asked to make a minimum donation of $1,000 to the Annual Fund.

The Board meets bi-monthly, and trustees serve on the aforementioned committees for board evaluation and selection.

Ultimately, the heart of an MMS education can be found in our mission, “to educate students of knowledge, courage, personal integrity, and compassion.” Everything we do is based on the belief that every child has unique personal potential, and the extraordinary success of our graduates shows that we have indeed earned our reputation for excellence from educators, teacher training centers, and institutions of higher education. Parents want a school fully committed to helping their children not only achieve academically but to become stronger, better citizens. We know we must offer a lasting benefit to families making this investment, and we are proud to offer a long and proven history of exceeding expectations.

Milwaukee Montessori School’s pledge to every parent is that our highly skilled teachers and nationally recognized curriculum will inspire children to develop the knowledge and character it takes to achieve and succeed in the world well beyond our walls.

YEAR IN REVIEW

Uniquely MMS

Milwaukee Montessori School reached a new level of community recognition in

2015, including a record-setting number of awards.

MMS students won more 7th and 8th-grade scholastic art awards than any other middle school in the state.

Among the many were the 1st-place Gold Key Award and three 2nd-place Silver Key awards. Out of only ten 1st place ribbons given out at the State Fair art show, MMS students won two of them.

SCHOLARSHIPS Outstanding student scholarships were granted to many of our 2015 8th-grade graduates. Of particular note is Chyna B. who was the second MMS student in three years to be awarded the prestigious Joe Lubar Scholarship. As part of this award, Chyna was given a full, four-year scholarship to the University School of Milwaukee.

EXCELLENCE Junior High teacher Ben Riggs received the prestigious Janet Martin Award for excellence in teaching, and Jaime Wszelaki, our art and robotics teacher, won the title of Robotics Coach of the Year for a second time.

REAL-WORLD ACTIVITIES Our work developing real-world simulations gained the interest of Hollywood producers who spent the better month of October 2014 filming a documentary about Election Game. The film is scheduled to open in early 2016.

FRIENDSHIP Finally, we celebrate friendships. In August, the MMS class of 2011 gathered here to take a reunion photo, and we asked them what they felt was most valuable about their MMS experience. Each and every one of them responded that while here they made lifelong friends they still count on to this day. Ultimately, our school’s joy-filled, challenging education is life-changing, and the students who live it together as cohorts become bonded forever by their unique experience.
