Our Mission

Urban Montessori Charter Schools’ mission is to develop self-directed and engaged learners who are academically, socially and emotionally prepared to succeed in any high school.  Nurturing the innovators of tomorrow to creatively meet the challenges of today’s world with confidence, compassion and grace, Urban Montessori cultivates individual curiosities and strengths, while holding children to a high standard of excellence. At Urban Montessori, children deepen their understanding of what it means to live responsibly in a diverse urban community.

Whom we will serve

Urban Montessori Charter Schools will be a public charter school serving children, K through 8th grade. The school will be located in Oakland and is open to all children residing in the state of California. We seek to serve a socio-economically, racially and culturally diverse community of children because we believe that all children learn about different backgrounds and perspectives by living and working with people from those backgrounds and perspectives.
