Academic Terms
Capital Montessori School runs two academic terms during the year.  The Fall term runs from the beginning of September through the end of May.  The Summer term runs from the beginning of June through the end of the third week in August.  Both terms are academic in nature, however we take advantage of the wonderful Washington Summers with more outdoor learning opportunities during the Summer.

Curriculum

CMS also partners with our neighbor, HomeStreet Bank, for Bank Day.  HomeStreet Bank allows CMS students to open no fee savings accounts with as little as $1.00.  Students with accounts are taken to the bank, where they can make deposits to their account.

Extra Curricular Activities
CMS has partnered with several local businesses that provide opportunities for kids.  These include Kindermusik, Studio One Dance, and Art Classes w/ Erin Burgman.  In addition to these, CMS has a drill team for both boys and girls that performs in parades and at local drill team invitationals.
