Welcome to the Parkside Montessori Parent Teacher Association!
Tiger Pride is at the heart of everything we do. Our close-knit community is dedicated to making our school the best environment for our children to learn and grow.
Our Mission We exist is to engage and empower all families in our community – for today and tomorrow – to support the mission, vision, and goals of Parkside Montessori School. We are committed to providing each of our children a strong academic foundation, helping them become motivated learners, problem solvers, and global citizens through a Montessori whole-child approach.
Parent Involvement Our high level of parent involvement is the "secret sauce" that makes Parkside special. We encourage families to volunteer 30 hours a year, aligning their interests and talents with various projects that support the school’s needs.
