Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School

About Us

What makes us unique?

Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School is a mission-driven school in Baltimore’s historic Greenmount West community. Together with our partners and families, we transformed two vacant buildings and an empty lot, and opened our doors in 2008 as Baltimore’s first public Montessori school. Today, our school features beautiful spaces for learning and play, high quality learning environments for students beginning at age 3, Seed to Table - our thriving student-powered cooking and gardening program, supportive leadership, talented and dedicated staff, and a dynamic and engaged parent community. Families travel from 26 different zip codes to attend our school.
