World Community Montessori (WCM) offers a prepared environment for learning focused on academic excellence and universal spiritual values that build character and community responsibility. Small classes provide the individual attention that is key to helping each student discover his or her academic potential. The knowledge-plus-values based approach, prepares future generations for the challenges of the 21st Century. Communications and leadership training are incorporated into the rigorous curriculum; students often placing into college courses during their sophomore year at WCM. Many graduates enter college with six or more college credits.
Students take a major field trip during their four years of High School, often to Washington D.C., where they have taken private tours of the Capital and had meetings with Library of Congress staff and with members of Congress to discuss issues that have been part of their social studies curriculum.
