SUCCESS, TOGETHER
MAPSS was formed in 1999 when a dedicated Montessori educator and group of parents proposed that the Montessori method become an option for students in Calgary’s public school system.
MISSION-DRIVEN
We are committed to the development of future generations. To make public Montessori school possible, MAPSS raises funds to purchase Montessori materials and classroom tools, provide teacher training, present parent education, and purchase Montessori parent resources for each school’s library.

Schools have been flourishing and enrolment in Montessori programs have never been higher. MAPSS is dedicated to supporting schools, principals, and the CBE to help build the strongest Montessori program.
PATH TO SUCCCESS
The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) provides an excellent education to ALL children regardless of the program they are in. While the regular CBE program provides high quality education for all students, they understand that no educational program is ideal for every learner.
After proposing that the Montessori method become an option in the CBE, the Board of Trustees noted that there were limited funds to finance the program.
Since that time, MAPSS has raised over $1,000,000 to supplement the CBE’s investment. We have contributed to Montessori materials and classroom tools, teacher training, parent education, and Montessori parent resources for each school’s library.
