Diversity, Equity, and Belonging

Director of DEB
Our dedication to diversity, equity, and belonging extends to a commitment to ongoing accountability, examination, and improvement of our organizational culture. We recognize that fostering an inclusive community requires continuous reflection and action. Therefore, we remain vigilant in evaluating our practices and policies to ensure they align with our values of equity and diversity.
This commitment resonates deeply with the principles of Montessori pedagogy, reflecting Maria Montessori's profound understanding of the holistic development of children. We honor each child as a unique individual deserving of respect and support on their educational journey.
Through Montessori education, we cultivate an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated, fostering understanding and empathy among our community members. Equity lies at the heart of our approach, ensuring that each child receives personalized attention and resources tailored to their unique needs. By nurturing a sense of belonging, we create spaces where every child feels valued, empowered, and motivated to explore, learn, and grow.
Our classrooms are vibrant reflections of the diverse human experience, embracing the assortment of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that make up the world. We intentionally foster a diverse community, welcoming individuals from various ethnicities, socioeconomic statuses, gender identities, family structures, sexual orientations, racial backgrounds, national origins, religions, and abilities. We celebrate the ways that our uniqueness enables us to enrich each other’s lives.
At MCS, diversity, equity, and belonging are not just ideals but integral components of our educational philosophy, preparing students to become compassionate and engaged global citizens. We actively seek to create an atmosphere of respect and openness, in which every person is equally recognized and supported.

Student Support Coordinator
We offer a comprehensive Student Support Program designed to meet the diverse needs of every student. Grounded in Montessori principles and aligned with a Multi-tiered System of Support (MTSS), our program identifies resources, strategies, and practices that support students' physical, social, emotional, and intellectual well-being, ensuring equal opportunities for success.
The Student Support Team (SST), consisting of the Student Support Coordinator and the Academic Director, collaborates closely with classroom teachers, the Head of School, and external professionals. Together, we provide additional academic and behavioral support, collect data for student learning, recommend research-based interventions and accommodations, and offer referrals for external support services.
We recognize the importance of providing adaptive materials and resources to meet the diverse needs of our students. From yoga balls and wiggle seats to headphones and quiet spaces, we offer various aids to support sensory needs and help students better focus on their tasks. Additionally, our calming corner in the nurse’s office provides a safe space for students to regulate their emotions and restore their focus when needed.
Through our Student Support Program, we are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every student feels valued, empowered, and able to thrive.
