OUR SCHOOL
Welcome to Okemos Public Montessori
Okemos Public Montessori at Central is one of four elementary schools in the Okemos district. Home to the youngest students at the PPK and Begindergarten level up to fourth grade. OPM teaches using the Montessori philosophy, started by Dr. Maria Montessori, the tradition of individualized learning that encompasses all aspect of the child: social, emotional, physical, and academic.
Points of Pride
Okemos Public Montessori embraces the Montessori philosophy of education within a public school setting. Our classrooms are multi-age spanning PPK (3-5 yr olds), lower elementary (1st & 2nd grade), and upper elementary (3rd & 4th grade). Within these classes the students are encouraged to be independent, self-motivated learners. Another important part of the Montessori philosophy is to allow the students freedom in their learning choices while promoting responsibility with that freedom. We are a culturally diverse student body which includes students from Russia, Korea, China, India, England, to name a few.
