MISSION STATEMENT
Alief Montessori Community School strives to provide a diverse and supportive learning environment where our students develop a love for lifelong learning and grow to become contributing members of society.
HISTORY
Nancy Lee Chieu founded Alief Montessori Community School as a private school in the fall of 1981. Mrs. Chieu strongly supported Maria Montessori’s view of education, “Education is to prepare a child for life.” The goal of education is always the formation of the total personality. Independence, responsibility, and a deep love of learning are the hallmarks of a Montessori child.
In 1998, AMCS became a public charter school and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, with the goal of making Montessori education available and accessible to the children of the Alief community and the greater Houston area. During its four decades of service, Alief Montessori Community School has provided Montessori programs for children ages 3 to 14 years old.
AMCS began with a primary program and has since added Lower and Upper Elementary programs, and most recently a Middle School (Adolescent) program in 2017. Students attend multi-age classes according to Montessori education. Primary students usually range from 3 to 6 years of age. The lower elementary students are about 6 to 9 and the upper elementary 9 to 12 years of age. Middle school students attend classes together from 12 to 14 years of age. Ideally, students remain with the same teacher for 2 to 3 years.
Alief Montessori Community School prides itself on providing a holistic Montessori education based on the Association of Montessori Internationale standards, whereby the curriculum and approach can meet the individual needs of each of our students. In order to best serve our students, AMCS strives to create an environment that fosters healthy communication and empathy.
