Make an
impact today

Fall Fest is back, and our scholarship fundraiser is officially underway!

Last year, our community came together to turn a beloved MCS tradition into something even more meaningful: a scholarship fund that opens the Montessori experience to more children, more families, and more futures.

This year, we're building on what we started—with a goal of raising $30,000.

Every gift brings us closer to making the Montessori experience possible for more children and families.

    Invest in Lifelong Learners:
    A Montessori education nurtures independence, curiosity, and a love of learning — gifts that carry children well beyond their school years.

    Scholarships keep us rooted in our mission, supporting self-directed learning and classrooms where children grow with confidence and care.

“Scholarships aren’t just financial support — they’re an open door. They welcome new voices, spark friendships, and allow every child the chance to explore their full potential. The gift of a Montessori education ripples outward, shaping not only the child but the whole community.”

— Deven Michaud, MCS Executive Director

A LEGACY OF OPPORTUNITY.

SOME GIFTS DON’T JUST BECOME PART OF OUR STORY. THEY HELP WRITE WHAT COMES NEXT.

For those who wish to make a transformational investment in the MCS Scholarship Fund, there are opportunities to leave a lasting mark on MCS—and create meaningful connections between your generosity and the opportunities it makes possible.

  • A personalized engraved leaf will join our growing installation of giving—connecting the names of those supporting MCS today with generations of generosity that came before them.

    Your leaf may recognize you, your family, your business or organization, or be given in honor or memory of someone meaningful to you.

  • Gifts of $1,000 or more will be recognized with a larger engraved leaf within our growing installation—a lasting acknowledgment of an extraordinary commitment to opening the doors of MCS to more children and families.

  • Beginning at $2,500, a donor may establish named scholarship support in their own name, a family name, the name of a business or organization, or in honor or memory of someone meaningful.

    Named gifts may support a portion of a student’s scholarship. In some cases, multiple named gifts may come together to help make one child’s MCS education possible.

  • At the full-scholarship level, one donor may underwrite an entire scholarship award—creating an opportunity for another child and family to become part of the MCS story.
