CHARLES TOWNE MONTESSORI
... where your child loves learning

Inspiring. Passionate. Exciting. Creative.

These are just a few of the words that describe the learning environment and children who learn at Charles Towne Montessori School.

As one of South Carolina's oldest and most distinguished Montessori schools, Charles Towne Montessori School provides a comprehensive program educating children from infancy through the elementary years. We're the only school in South Carolina that is internationally accredited.

Our certified AMI (Association Montessori International) and AMS (American Montessori Society) teachers are passionately committed to the pedagogical principles and approach of Dr. Maria Montessori.

During the most recent school year, we celebrated the beginning of our 36th year and the 101st year anniversary of Dr. Montessori's first school, the Casa dei Bambini (House of Children), in Rome, Italy. It was in this first school that Montessori, a trained physician, would begin a course that would transform her life and the lives of thousands of children throughout the world.

Observing a Montessori classroom where children work independently and at their own pace in a child-centered environment is truly a rewarding and transforming experience. We encourage you to schedule a tour to see this magical process in action

-- Edward D. Jackson, executive director

TESTIMONIAL

"We visited CTMS on a recommendation from friends. At the time, we were unaware of the the dynamics of the Montessori method. We enrolled our son as an infant, and ... we can see a big difference in social skills, ability to process verbal commands, and his willingness to help and take responsibility to put things where they belong compared to other children that go to traditional daycare/in-home care."

"We highly recommend observing children in the Montessori environment at CTMS. It's amazing to see what your child is capable of, and how all ages and personalities can thrive in this environment."

-- Kelly, parent
