Our Community, Our Legacy, Our Future.

For more than 50 years, the Montessori School of McLean has been a place where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and grow. Since 1973, generations of families, educators, and friends have helped shape MSM into the vibrant, close-knit community we know today.

As an independent, nonprofit 501(c)(3) school, MSM is strengthened by the generosity and involvement of our community. Your support helps enrich the Montessori experience, invest in our dedicated teachers, enhance learning environments, and create meaningful opportunities for our students.

At MSM, giving is about more than a financial contribution. It’s about sharing our time, talents, and resources to support a school and community we believe in.

WAYS TO GIVE: TIME, TALENT & TREASURE

TIME | Be Present. Get Involved
One of the greatest gifts you can give MSM is your time. Whether volunteering at a school event, helping with the Parent Association, assisting with a fundraiser, or lending a hand behind the scenes, your involvement strengthens the connections that make our community special. Every hour shared helps create the experiences and traditions our children and families cherish.

TALENT | Share What Makes You Unique
Our community is filled with individuals whose skills, experiences, and passions can enrich school life. From sharing professional expertise and helping organize events to introducing students to new ideas, careers, cultures, and creative pursuits, there are countless ways to make a difference. Your talents can open new doors for our students and help our school continue to thrive.

TREASURE | Invest in What Matters
Financial contributions to the MSM Annual Fund help sustain and enhance the exceptional Montessori education our students experience each day. Unrestricted gifts are especially valuable, allowing the school to direct resources where they are needed most, from supporting faculty and staff to improving classrooms, maintaining our campus, and enriching educational opportunities.

Donors who wish to support a particular area may also designate their gifts toward:

• Campus Stewardship, HVAC/Roof Replacement & Inclusive Playground Equipment: Supporting essential campus improvements, including roof and HVAC upgrades and inclusive playground equipment, to provide a safe, welcoming, and accessible environment where all children can learn and thrive.

• Faculty & Staff Professional Development: Investing in conferences, specialized training, and continuing education to strengthen teaching practices and bring fresh ideas and approaches into our classrooms.

• Tuition Assistance: Expanding access to an MSM education by providing financial support to qualified families, fostering a diverse and inclusive school community.

Every gift, regardless of size, makes a meaningful contribution to the future of MSM.
