Chesapeake Montessori School, a well-established AMI Montessori school in Annapolis, MD, seeks a program developer and teacher for a new adolescent program to be created to serve the Annapolis area.

CMS is working with other well-established AMI Montessori schools in the area to develop an adolescent program.  We are anticipating a day program with connections to both the land and water.  CMS has 135 students in programs for Young Child Community through upper elementary, an AMI-trained head of school, an active board of trustees and parent organization; we will celebrate our 35th anniversary in the 2012-13 school year.

Annapolis is an exciting area to begin an adolescent program with state government, St. John’s College, the Naval Academy in the city; land for agriculture and a rich history of watermen due to its location on the water; close proximity to Washington, DC and Baltimore; easy travel to historical and environmental resources; many opportunities for work, study, and recreation.

Please contact Deborah Bricker at Chesapeake Montessori School, 30 Old Mill Bottom Rd. N, Annapolis, MD 21409; phone 410-757-4740.

We are looking for a Montessori trained elementary guide or intern to work as a long term sub in one of our lower elementary classrooms beginning in March.

The Board of Trustees of The Montessori School is seeking a Head of School to start July 1, 2012.

This is The Montessori School’s 50th anniversary. Established by the Montessori Society of Central Maryland, Inc., the school was founded in 1962 by a small group of parents dedicated to providing a Montessori education for their children. The Emerson Farm campus, named after the historic farm property that MSCM purchased and began refurbishing in 1977, now serves 250 students.

The beautiful campus is home to three schools: The Montessori School for toddlers through grade 6; Emerson Farm Middle School for grades 7 and 8; and the Maryland Center for Montessori Studies, an early childhood teacher training program.

Nearly 7,000 students have attended Montessori since its inception. Three educational associations including Association of Independent Maryland Schools accredit the school.
