History of OCMS

Bringing Montessori to the South Shore for Over 50 Years

In 1963, OCMS was founded by a group of parents with a dream. They were dedicated to providing the unique benefits of a Montessori education to their children.

By their hands, funding, hard work, and passion, they started the first Montessori school south of Boston. It was licensed as a non-profit educational corporation under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Since then, our school has grown from one temporary classroom with 15 young children to a well-equipped, highly respected, independent school that serves over 100 children ages 2.9 to 9 (third grade).

 Many things have changed over the years, but our governing structure has always remained the same. Because of our dedicated staff and highly motivated parent community, OCMS continues to thrive and remains a premier provider of early education.
