Maria Montessori spent her life working to create schools that would serve children, and she recognized that the most essential element to a child's Montessori education is building a strong partnership with and among families.

MIR and the Parents and Teachers of Montessori (PTM) build this partnership through community activities and events, parent education, and volunteering opportunities.

• Community activities and events include both classroom and schoolwide activities, and the MIR Spring Gala & Auction.
• MIR offers a comprehensive parent education program called Montessori U. Classes focus on parenting, child development, and Montessori education and outcomes.
• Numerous volunteer opportunities range from assisting in your child's classroom to joining the PTM or the MIR Board of Trustees.
