Micro-economy sale at the Assembly
By the JH Micro-Economy
Dear Parents of Montessori,
At our spring assembly on Wednesday, our Junior High Micro-Economy program will be selling a couple different products, but our most important product couldn’t have been done without you! See we are selling scrunchies made out of cleaned, pre-loved, gym uniform shirts that many families have graciously donated shirts for us to reuse for our sale. Our Micro-Economy team would all like to thank everyone who has donated shirts to help our program thrive.
Cash is preferred but we are excited to announce that we will offer E-Transfer. We hope to see you at the sale!
2023 Tuition receipts
Tuition receipts for the 2023 calendar year were sent to all families by e-mail at the end of January. Please check your inbox before contacting the office for an additional copy.

Ella’s big win(s) at Kiwanis
From a proud MA mom: “We want to thank our Montessori school for sponsoring this year’s Kiwanis music festival of London and we are so proud to share that Ella was able to participate in piano and harp competition classes, with some luck, she received first award for all classes and will be continuing onto provincial level for piano via their virtual channel. What great moments to be proud MA student and parents! Hopefully, these make missing the few days of school worthwhile!”
Congratulations, Ella!
