Admissions

A Letter from the Director of Enrollment

I’m looking forward to meeting you and getting to know your child. I am a 15-year veteran of MMS, having worked as a Montessori early childhood teacher for nine years and in admissions for the last six years. This year, MMS is launching the MMS@Calhoun program for students preschool through third grade, as we will be merging with The Calhoun School in fall 2023. 

Some important things to know about MMS@Calhoun:

• MMS@Calhoun, which is Montessori program, will be one of two Lower School tracks at Calhoun. Both tracks will combine in fourth grade and students will continue at Calhoun until 12th grade. For the first time in our history, we are excited to offer prospective families the chance to enroll their children at one school for their entire prek-12th grade education.  
• MMS@Calhoun will be housed in our current building at 325 W. 85th Street. 
• All MMS@Calhoun teachers are Montessori-certified. MMS is affiliated with the American Montessori Society. Learn more about Montessori here.
• I will be your main guide to learning about MMS@Calhoun, but the entire admissions process will go through The Calhoun School’s admissions portal. I am already working closely with The Calhoun School admissions team.

Thank you for your interest in our school. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Warmest regards,
Marielle Lopez
Director of Enrollment
