Our teachers, coaches, and parent volunteers support extracurricular activities because these help students explore career interests, develop new talents and skills, and make friends. Students who represent their school out in the community gain leadership experience and strengthen school pride.
Bay View Montessori School extracurricular activities are listed below. Contact our parent coordinator or your student’s classroom teacher to learn more about them.
Arts & Culture
Drama Club
Students explore and entertain during annual musical productions based on Montessori lessons and materials, and written by a Bay View Montessori School educator. Lower elementary students are the on-stage talent. Older students serve as artists, directors, and tech experts.
Futura Spanish
Since 2001, Futura Language Professionals has been a pioneer in Spanish enrichment programming. Located directly at your child’s school immediately before or after the traditional school day, Futura classes provide an unparalleled convenient and affordable way to get a jump start on your child’s language education in a fun, age-appropriate manner.

Coached by parent and community volunteers, the Bay View Montessori Huskies welcome athletes of all abilities, in grades one through six, to represent our school in several sports.
- Basketball

Leadership & Service
Boy Scouts of America
Locally and nationally, the BSA provides a program for young people that builds character, trains them in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and develops personal fitness.
FIRST LEGO League
Founded in 2014, Bay View Montessori’s FIRST LEGO League team made history as the first such team in Milwaukee Public Schools. Students in grades one through six build LEGO-based robots and compete in engineering tournaments. Coached by adults, supported by teammates, and challenged by competitors, FIRST LEGO leaguers apply real-world math and science content and strengthen their critical-thinking, team-building, and presentation skills.
Girl Scouts of Wisconsin Southeast
Through enriching experiences like extraordinary field trips, sports skill-building clinics, community service projects, cultural exchanges, and environmental stewardship, girls grow courageous and strong. Bay View Montessori School is home to two troops!
Girls on the Run
Third through eighth graders enjoy fun, evidence-based programs that inspire all girls to build their confidence, kindness, and decision-making skills. Dynamic lessons instill valuable life skills including the important connection between physical and emotional health.
Green Team
Bay View Montessori students and volunteers help with various “green” initiatives at our school. For the past two years a group of secondary students has been learning to grow vegetables in a hydroponic growing tower. Students have an opportunity to plant in outdoor gardens, work on recycling and compost teams, and help maintain our outdoor classrooms.
