Support Us

Letter from the Director | Board of Directors | Teacher Team

The easiest way to support HMS is to purchase from our Wish List on Amazon. (OK, y’all are good and buying from this list. We get it… we’ll try to keep it updated.)

If you have a young one, between Sept 1 and Dec 31 up to 15% of your purchases through For Small Hands will be returned to HMS in the form of a credit to their parent site, Montessori Services where we purchase many of our classroom materials. For HMS to receive the credit, use this link, or on check-out, enter our school number–395140.

Highland Montessori School received 501(c)(3) non-profit status in 2014. As such, we do seek and welcome public support. Watch this video about our school and our funding goals. Yes, it’s a video from our early years, but the message remains the same!

IMG_3346Any donations will help us accomplish these three objectives:

  • to establish a scholarship fund for families in need
  • send our teachers to great trainings, including Montessori conferences
  • bring in quality speakers for teacher and/or parent workshops

If you would like your donation to go directly to any one of these goals, just let us know your wish.

As a thank you for supporting HMS, donors of $200 or more may inscribe a 8″x 4″ brick at the gated entrance to our playground.
