Strategic Plan for 2026

Our Vision

Montessori School of Greater Hartford will cultivate future generations of capable and compassionate individuals who have the courage to pursue their convictions and be catalysts of peace.

 


 

Our Core Values

The Montessori School of Greater Hartford’s core values guide the work both inside and outside our school to accomplish our vision, mission and strategic goals.  We are committed to:

  • delivering authentic Montessori pedagogy and providing a continuum of learning from the earliest age through adolescence that is dedicated to developing the academic, social and emotional potential of our children to its fullest

  • maintaining a diverse community of families, staff, and contributors that is inclusive, welcoming, safe, supportive and joyful

  • cultivating an intentional climate of respect in the classrooms and school community by modeling patience, kindness, and honesty in all our interactions and by supporting children in their role as future catalysts of peace in the world

  • sharing our knowledge and expertise on child development with the broader community while continually looking inward to improve so that we can be a beacon of Montessori best practice.

 


 

Our Goals 

1. Sustainability

While MSGH is in a stable position, we must continue to ensure the sustainability of the school by enhancing our financial security and ensuring we are securing and enhancing our school in a way that is aligned with Montessori philosophy and pedagogy.

2. Education and Communication 

It is critical that our parents (and other stakeholders) understand AMI Montessori pedagogy and how it informs our teaching and other decisions. We must assess and analyze the school’s communications mechanisms to ensure we reach our intended audiences with the information they need at the right time.

3. Facilities  

Beyond regular maintenance of our facility, we must navigate the significant risks and capital investments needed to ensure our space is safe, hardened, and supports our students’ needs year-round and through challenging climate scenarios.

4. Managing Operations  

This goal seeks to ensure that we continue to manage MSGH in a fiscally responsible way that successfully oversees daily operations.
