Creative Montessori School Open Now

Creative Montessori School enrolls 250 students at the toddler, primary, elementary, and adolescent levels (18 months through 8th Grade) on our two-acre campus located in the center of Homewood. Convenient to both downtown Birmingham and over-the-mountain suburbs, CMS draws from 21 zip codes throughout the metropolitan area. We strive to maintain affordable tuition to allow children from varying socio-economic backgrounds to receive an extraordinary education. CMS offers its students an unparalleled private school education in a warm and loving atmosphere where the focus is on the individual child.

CMS faithfully endorses and follows the Montessori method to fulfill its mission. Our mission, coupled with a tradition of encouraging and sustaining diversity, has long been a source of pride and strength. CMS was founded by Barbara R. Spitzer in 1968 as a private, non-profit school, and has served as a model for the education community in Birmingham for 50 years. We’ve been “first” in many areas, including:

• The first private school in Birmingham founded as an integrated school
• The first to offer science, social studies, and foreign languages for preschoolers
• The first school with a mixed-age classroom in which children of diversified backgrounds and physical abilities are provided individualized programs based on the children’s unique natural learning processes and capabilities.
