The mission of the New York City Montessori Charter School is to empower children to be critical thinkers and creative problem solvers with strong social skills so that they can succeed in their world and continue to learn in their pursuit of higher education as they prepare for careers needed in the 21st Century.

The school's curriculum is based on an alignment of the Montessori approach with the National and New York State Core Curricula. Its educational program is based on the belief that children learn best within an environment that supports and respects each individual's unique development.
