What makes

EACMSI different?

Welcome to The Elizabeth Ann Clune Montessori School of Ithaca, a place where we foster the growth of young minds to become the leaders of tomorrow, committed to creating a world founded on equity, justice, and peace.

Our commitment to transforming the world through children’s education drives everything we do, as we recognize the profound impact early learning experiences have on shaping individuals and society.

Not many schools begin with a three-year-old and grow them into adolescence. Ours is a responsive environment that adapts to the changing developmental needs of each age while providing the specific matter necessary to nourish each being along the way.

At EACMSI, we prepare children for leadership in an equitable, just and peaceful world. We are committed to transforming the world through the education of children and continuously reevaluate our practice to meet the ever unfolding demands of the future.

Every day, EACMSI students:

Probe deeply.
