Creekstone Montessori School is a new Montessori charter school, located in Red Wing, MN, authorized by Minnesota Department of Education to serve children ages 3 years old-Grade 8 at one primary enrollment site. Creekstone currently serves 121 enrolled children – 15, of which, are enrolled in a tuition-based instructional preschool program (ages 3-5) and the remaining 106 children enrolled in tuition-free, public grades K-6. Creekstone serves a vast array of diverse students and is committed to provide Montessori education to any student, regardless of socio-economic and academic status. We will continue to actively recruit children demographically underrepresented in our community. Creekstone Montessori School’s mission from the start was to provide the proven method of Montessori education to a broader range of students and families within the Red Wing community, enhancing this beloved town, and our mission stands true today.
MDE’s authorization for CMS to operate as a public charter school has enabled us with the ability to provide tuition-free Montessori education to K-8 students, however the state and federal funding that CMS currently receives does not provide assistance for preschool-aged children. We deeply value pre-k education and believe it is essential in providing not only an authentic Montessori, multi-age learning community, but also in feeding our elementary and middle school programs. We are committed to making the preschool program more accessible and equitable. Creekstone Montessori School will continually prioritize seeking opportunities to provide scholarships and equitable opportunities to help ensure accessibility to Montessori education to all who seek this form of education
It is our mission to ensure Montessori education is available to all students regardless of their economic status and believe this form of education meets the needs of all children. There is overwhelming evidence that Montessori education can eliminate socio-economic achievement gaps. This finding is compelling for Red Wing, where disparities definitely exist across racial and socio-economic lines. We will ensure that our preschool program is composed of a vast array of student populations, including those underrepresented in our community. We are eager to see this education model, in its full capacity, benefit students from all socio-economic backgrounds.
