At MacDowell Montessori, we are privileged to teach our current students and distinctly proud of our graduates and alumni who keep in touch with teachers and staff after eighth-grade completion ceremony or high-school graduation.
“Our school mission is aligned with the Montessori value of ‘Great Work,’ that all work has value in society. If one of my students wants to be a truck driver, they will be the best prepared truck driver when they leave MacDowell. We can provide the personalized touch that allows each child to meet the goals of their great work. This mentorship continues beyond high-school graduation. We are the kind of school where graduates come back to us years later for advice and to stay connected.”
—Andrea Corona, Principal, MacDowell Montessori School
When students graduate from MacDowell Montessori, they leave with positive memories, lasting friendships and a strong academic foundation. Lessons learned at MacDowell are not strictly academic; they are lifelong values that students carry with them as they develop into self-confident, responsible adults. For many of those who have walked the MacDowell hallways, our school has made a lasting impression. We ask that MacDowell graduates take the time to reminisce and to reunite with old classmates. Whether you have dinner or attend an organized reunion, keep MacDowell in your heart and in your mind.
Teachers at MacDowell take pride in their students’ successes from the moment young learners enter a classroom on the first day of school. Our faculty and staff are especially grateful for those students who keep in touch beyond graduation. For many students, MacDowell was their first school and will always have a place in their hearts.
In an effort to strengthen our Alumni Association at MacDowell, we ask former MacDowell students (and our teachers) to reconnect with one another and with our learning institution. Our hope is to reunite former classmates and garner community support for MacDowell today. If you or someone you know is a MacDowell graduate, please spread the word – reconnect with MacDowell! Visit today’s classrooms and share your MacDowell memories with students.
