We are very grateful for the amazing foundation both of our children have gotten at CMS; Our daughter is truly a world citizen in her actions and intentions, and our son surprises us often with his sense of responsibility and care for the people and world around him.

CMS Comes to Life!

By Marta Wagner • August 20, 2025
CMS comes to life when children arrive! Our campus is buzzing with children of all ages. We've seen endless smiles and a few short-lived tears, but all are eager to reunite with their peers and teachers. We’ve loved welcoming new friends and look forward to meeting those who will be joining us in the coming weeks! Returning to school and settling back into daily routines is a process, and everyone’s timeline looks a little different. We value the individuality and unique personalities that make our school so special.

Welcome Back to School!

Welcome Back CMS Community! I hope that you all had a relaxing and fun-filled summer break. It sure went by fast, as it always does. We are super excited to have the children back later this week! It was lovely to see all who were able to attend the CMS101 and Parents Orientations last night. A special thanks to our office staff who worked tirelessly to assure that all the documents, information, and schedules were ready for you, and our academic staff also worked with a great effort the get the classroom environments ready. I hope you could feel the energy and excitement in the air.

Thanks for an Amazing Year!

As we wrap up another incredible year, we just want to say—thank you! From the first-day jitters to the end-of-year celebrations, it’s been a journey full of growth, joy, and memorable moments. To our students, families, and staff: you’ve brought kindness, positive energy, and enthusiasm to everything we’ve done. We couldn’t have done it without you! Now it’s time to close the books and soak up some sunshine. Have a fun, safe, and well-deserved summer break. We can’t wait to see you next year for more adventures!
