    Traditions

    Memories, magic, Montessori.

    A Mountaineer Montessori education is shaped by cherished traditions built over five decades — special activities and events that enrich learning, foster friendships, and create lifelong memories.

    What's cool about our school

    The moments our families remember forever.

    From the very first ice-cream social to eighth-year graduation, these signature traditions mark the milestones of childhood at MMS.

    Ice Cream Social

    Returning and new families are welcomed to the new school year at our ice cream social.

    End of Year Picnic

    We celebrate the end of the school year with an all-school family style picnic, and we are delighted when alumni students make an appearance!

    Tie Dye Day

    Over 20 years and brighter than ever, a riot of color that's pure MMS.

    Winter & Spring Concerts

    Two beloved concerts each year, plus class plays and student performances.

    Third-Year Overnight & Sixth-Year Project

    Rites of passage that stretch independence — an overnight trip and a signature capstone project.

    Eighth-Year Graduation

    A meaningful send-off celebrating our oldest students as they move on to high school and beyond.

    A year in pictures

    Life at Mountaineer Montessori.

    Children and parent volunteers filling a raised garden bed with soil on the school grounds.
    A girl in a red cape carrying a friend piggyback across the gravel.
    Two children in orange and blue butterfly wings crouched together on the playground gravel.
    Children's feet in colourful patterned socks arranged in a circle on a rug.
    A boy playing a small mini-golf course laid out along a brick path.
    A boy lying on the grass with his arms and legs spread wide, laughing.
    Students and guides hiking in single file up a mountain trail under a blue sky.
    Children picking zinnias in the school flower garden.
    A student rappelling down a rock face above a forested valley.
