Milwaukee Montessori School

Milwaukee Montessori School (MMS) is a private, mastery-based learning community dedicated to nurturing the academic, social, and emotional growth of every child. Choosing MMS means investing in your child’s daily happiness, intellectual development, and long-term success.

Our approach is unique. With small-group lessons taught by highly trained, caring teachers, we tailor education to each student’s needs. We believe no single method works for all learners at the same time. Through mastery learning, children progress at their own pace—advancing in areas of strength while mastering skills before moving on. The result: MMS students consistently excel academically while developing strong social and emotional foundations.

At MMS, learning is joyful and well-rounded. In addition to rigorous academics, students enjoy a variety of programs in athletics, technology, foreign language, studio arts, environmental stewardship, and music. Multi-age classrooms encourage collaboration, independence, and leadership.

We emphasize growth mindset and character development. Students build resilience, persistence, and teamwork skills while forming meaningful friendships. Our smaller school size ensures every child is known and supported within a caring community.

With an extended 40-hour school week, we provide the time needed for deep learning without sacrificing recess, art, music, or physical education. Unlike many schools that rush to meet curriculum requirements, MMS balances challenge with creativity and exploration.

Student agency is at the heart of our philosophy. Children engage in learning experiences that are meaningful, relevant, and often self-initiated. This active role in their education fosters confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.

Milwaukee Montessori School offers an environment where children thrive academically and socially—preparing them for success in school and in life.
