Over the next five years MAPSS has committed itself to achieving the following objectives. Captain John Palliser Schoolĭirector: Steve Konopelky Priorities of Our Strategic Plan MAPSS is dedicated to supporting our schools, Principals and the CBE helping build the strongest Montessori. We are very excited with the increased interest in Montessori education and the growth of our schools. Our schools have been flourishing and enrollment in our Kindergarten and Grade One programs have never been higher. We have contributed to Montessori materials and classroom tools, teacher training, parent education, and Montessori parent resources for each school’s library. Since that time, MAPSS has raised nearly $900,000 to supplement the CBE’s investment. And so the MAPSS fundraising ventures began. However when the proposal came to the Board of Trustees there were limited funds to finance the program. MAPSS was formed in 1999 when a dedicated Montessori educator and group of parents proposed that the Montessori method become an option in the CBE. Some would benefit from programs that approach the curriculum differently.

While the regular CBE program provides a high quality education for all students, they understand that no educational program is ideal for every learner. Families of Calgary are lucky that CBE has adopted a progressive approach to education. The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) provides an excellent education to ALL of the children of Calgary regardless of the program they are in. MAPSS supports the development of quality Montessori programs in Calgary Public Schools as a choice for parents and children. To make public Montessori school possible, MAPSS raises funds to purchase Montessori materials and classroom tools, provide teacher training, present parent education, and purchase Montessori parent resources for each school’s library. MAPSS was formed in 1999 when a dedicated Montessori educator and group of parents proposed that the Montessori method become an option for students in Calgary’s public school system.
