The MSM HOS Cafes are held monthly on a Wednesday morning starting at 9:30AM. The purpose of the HOS Cafes is to create a collaborative and supportive community among Heads of Montessori Schools. We encourage open dialogue, sharing best practices and brainstorming and sharing solutions to common challenges. By infusing Montessori principles into these topics, we as school leaders can inspire our school community, enhance the parent experience, and foster a deeper appreciation and understanding of the Montessori approach.

This year we are introducing topic themes for each month. We want to inspire conversations along with innovative thinking and sharing amongst the group. We have organized themes to line up with the flow of the school calendar and what might be happening in our communities throughout the year.

Topic themes:
