The Annual Fund at Chesapeake Montessori School

“Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.” Dr. Maria Montessori

The Annual Fund at Chesapeake Montessori School is one of two vital fundraising initiatives at CMS. We use this fund to directly support our students and school:

Bolster the tuition assistance fund
Maintain professional development opportunities
Strengthen reserve funds
Maintain competitive tuition fees
Plan for major calamity & unforeseen expenses

As an independent, non-profit school, we rely heavily on your support and the donations you make to maintain a level of excellence in all of these areas.

The Annual Fund campaign “Realizing Our Potential” begins October 10, and ends December 31, 2024, however we will take donations towards the Annual Fund at any time. The 2024-2025 Annual Fund officially closes on June 30, 2025. Gifts of all types and sizes make a difference. This is a vital and meaningful way you can become involved in the CMS community.
