Santa Monica Montessori School

Enrichment

As part of our ongoing commitment to a well rounded education, SMMS offers a range of core enrichment programs included in the cost of tuition.


Dance and Tennis require a fee.

Mandarin

The program is designed for English-speaking and Mandarin-speaking students to develop communication and literacy skills in both language. The earlier children are introduced to a language, the greater likelihood they will become truly proficient in it.

Music

Weekly music classes foster musical development from an early age. Students learn songs, rhythm skills, notation and music appreciation. Elementary students learn ukulele, recorder or participate in band. We have several special events during the year to showcase your child’s musical talents.

Physical Education

Our program includes basketball, tennis and soccer at all levels. We also offer an interscholastic sports program at the Elementary level which includes basketball and volleyball. Our interscholastic program is gender equitable and we educate the whole athlete offering workshops in leadership, commitment and cooperation.


Private group tennis lessons are also offered for a fee.

Art

Our art studio offers a course using a variety of media from pencils to pastels and art straw to paper machine. The children learn about contemporary and historical artists. Their studies culminate in an annual art show which allows parents to celebrate their child’s efforts throughout the year.

Dance

Dance Magic comes to SMMS weekly for elective dance classes for all ages for a fee. This is an outside class taught by an outside teacher. Yearly dance recitals are an opportunity for students to show their developing skills.

Field Trips

Our school takes pride in its field trips and we schedule day trips throughout the year. Past trips have included Underwood Farms, California Science Center, Natural History Museum and more. These trips embellish the overall academic and social development.

If you think your child would thrive in a Montessori environment, give us a call or schedule a tour online. We would love for you to visit our school and learn more.
