The CVMS is a registered non-profit society that supports the further development and continuation of Montessori-inspired education in the Comox Valley.
Parents are encouraged to join the CVMS. The CVMS is involved in fundraising for future growth as well as advocating for the program at the school and district level. They organize and hold community-building events within the membership, bring awareness about the program and provide a forum for the membership to have a voice. The CVMS is an entity that is consistently evolving and growing as the Montessori program does the same. The goal is to be open, inclusive and to serve the best interests of all the children.
History
In 2005, a dedicated group of local parents, with a common interest in finding elementary Montessori education for their children, gathered together to form the Comox Valley Montessori Society (CVMS). On January 31, 2006, the school board voted unanimously to start the preparations for a 3 year pilot project. Commencing in September of 2006, the first public Montessori class in the Comox Valley School district (and on Vancouver Island) – a K/1 blend – found its home at Glacier View Elementary School. Since then, the program has become a regular program in Comox Valley Schools and has been established as a Kindergarten to grade 7 program at Queneesh Elementary. In 2020, the first Montessori classroom was established on the west side of town at Courtenay Elementary.
