Community Montessori School—Jackson
The public Montessori program came to Jackson in 1992 and was housed at the Parkview location on East Chester Street. The program began with 88 kindergarten and 1st-grade students. One grade band was added each year to accommodate a K-6th-grade program and 1996 was the first year to complete that cycle. Middle school (7th and 8th) was added in 2007. The program was moved to Bemis in the fall of 2011 and became The Montessori School at Bemis. In the summer of 2016, we moved again to 716 Westwood Ave. as Community Montessori School
