We see the community of Montessori School at Ken Caryl as diverse and welcoming. We see our school community embodying these characteristics:
- All members of the school community are committed to supporting the MSKC Vision of the Student and apply the Montessori philosophy in their personal and professional lives – striving to promote life-affirming principles in every setting and situation in which they find themselves.
- Providing an environment that is prepared, clean, beautiful, and peaceful. Welcoming both first-time visitors and long-term families.
- A staff community who works in unison, offering support and teamwork – where individual goals and beliefs are respected while remaining focused on one common vision in support of common values and agreements.
- Committed to positive, open communication. Expectations are clear and new challenges are approached with an attitude of discovering a solution. Communication guidelines are adhered to in conflict resolution, listening to the needs of all and learning from all, while inviting individual responsibility and problem solving.
- A stimulating and open-minded learning environment that encourages independent and creative thought, and nurtures the continuing development and improvement of each individual.
- A community that is accepting and aware of the diversity and culture of the world around and beyond our walls. A community where life and learning are conducted in harmony with nature, realizing that we are all part of the same circle.
- A community that acknowledges the joy of life and enjoys having fun!
