The 1984 Fund
In honor of the Co-op’s 40th anniversary, our community has the opportunity to make a profound impact on our school. As many of you know, the Montessori Co-op School was founded in 1984 by a visionary group of parents committed to providing a high-quality education rooted in the Montessori philosophy. Their dedication laid the foundation for the thriving educational environment we cherish today. The 1984 Fund plays a crucial role in enhancing the student experience and ensuring the continued excellence of our school.

Nikki, Michael, Isla, & Ian Craig
My name is Nikki, and this fall, my family is excited to begin our third year at the Montessori Co-op School (MCS). Our journey to MCS is a bit unconventional: as a military family, we’ve experienced a diverse range of educational environments, including four cooperative schools and two Montessori schools. The Montessori approach has provided our children with the stability and consistency they need amidst the frequent moves that come with military life.
Montessori Co-op School is the embodiment of community. Since that day, we have been welcomed, loved, and supported. Our children are thriving in every way. The best part of being here is seeing so many children grow and thrive in this school. MCS has touched our family in ways that will be deeply felt for many years.
We invite you to join our family in donating to The 1984 Fund. The 1984 Fund not only helps address immediate needs at the school, but also reinforces the values and vision that brought our family and others to this amazing place. If the co-op has left a mark on your family, like it has ours, please donate today.
