Creative Montessori School (CMS) is dedicated to providing an authentic Montessori environment for our students. We value each child’s unique potential and nurture our students’ inherent ability to meet challenges with divergent thinking skills, self-confidence, adaptability and resilience.
Children at Creative Montessori learn all the same things that children in a traditional school will learn — plus practical knowledge such as conflict resolution, social responsibility and environmental stewardship. It is how they learn and how they feel about learning that is quite different and truly valuable.
Montessori classrooms are designed to foster intellectual curiosity by facilitating individualized, independent, purposeful work within a warm and peaceful setting. The result is children who fall in love with learning. Students are allowed to learn at their own pace under the caring and thoughtful guidance of a professionally trained Montessori teacher.
Founded in 1968, CMS is Birmingham’s first Montessori school; the first local private school to be racially integrated from inception; and the first to offer science, world geography and foreign language to preschoolers. Today, CMS enrolls 225 students from 21 zip codes and is located on a two-acre campus in the heart of Homewood. Our affordable tuition makes exceptional education accessible to families with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds.
