Celebrating 5 Years & Expansion
Celebrating 5 Years & Expansion!
Founded in 2020 by 5 dedicated parents and educators who had a vision for a different type of school, Adeline Montessori School (AMS) serves children from age 6-weeks through 8th grade in our Early Childhood Center and Tuition-Free Charter School. Children are guided by qualified teachers who embrace the Montessori Philosophy espoused by Maria Montessori and the American Montessori Society. AMS is committed to individualized instruction, appealing to each child’s unique traits, and focusing first on what Maria Montessori recognized as a child’s natural tendency to be a curious, self-motivated, and eager learner. Students are provided a rich and diverse curriculum, steeped in intercultural experiences, and grounded in developmentally appropriate practices.
Our Fall 2025 programming will see the addition of a bilingual Primary classroom, an additional Infant classroom, and a dedicated Special Education classroom.
The space we currently occupy simply won’t support our expansion.
What started as a handful of students in the beginning of the pandemic has quickly blossomed into 9 classrooms with over 130 students. When we moved into our Oconomowoc campus in 2022, the space seemed luxurious compared to our previous footprints, but with our 2025-2026 school year needs, we need to make this property our Forever Home!
If we purchase the entire property, we could:
💚 have appropriate space for the 3 additional classrooms we already have fully enrolled for this upcoming Fall,
💚 create functional spaces for our growing special education programming needs,
💚 install additional safety measures around the property, allowing for increased use of the outdoor space,
💚 make needed improvements to the building and grounds,
💚 start the process of creating a high school program, allowing for a unique opportunity for a complete Montessori education path,
💚 create a student-run garden teaching children about agriculture and nutrition, and creating an opportunity for a small farmers market.
Let’s celebrate and plan for the future together!
As a non-profit organization, we must bridge our financial gaps through grants and donations. On Friday, June 6, 2025, we’re hosting a 5th Anniversary celebration in conjunction with our Spring Carnival fundraiser. The day will include an all-school assembly to commemorate many milestones, including our Class of 2025 8th-grade graduation, hosting our annual Students vs. Teachers Kickball Game, and concluding with our Spring Carnival fundraiser featuring food, games, face-painting, and raffles.
💚 Do you own a small business and would like to have a table at our event, or have products or services you’d like to promote to our community?
💚 Are you part of an organization that could donate a raffle item or sponsor a portion of the food, drinks, or rental items?
💚 Do you have something that would make a great raffle item, or would you like to put together a raffle basket?
We’re seeking ways to offset the cost of this event, allowing us to allocate the majority of the funds raised towards the purchase of our property. If any of the above resonates with you, please reach out to our Family Engagement Committee at engagement@adelinemontessori.com.
Our future relies on our ability to expand. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and for your consideration.
