CAMELBACK MONTESSORI COLLEGE PREPARATORY
Freshmen exploring the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum in Tucson
Sophomores exploring downtown, including ASU's campus
Juniors reflecting on heroes and villains in their own narratives
Congratulations on a successful first half of the school year! We loved seeing over 150 students and families at our annual Family Fun Night. From competitive musical chairs to a whipped cream pie-eating contest that brought endless giggles, it was a joyful evening of connection and fun.
Our Seniors have been hard at work with college applications, and we’re thrilled to share some exciting admissions news! Students have been accepted early decision/action to Davidson College, Williams College, Washington University St. Louis, Colgate College, and Chapman College. Special congratulations to our first Questbridge Matched Scholar, Dahlia Luico! Seniors have already earned over $2.9 million in scholarships. Let’s work together to meet our FAFSA completion goal of 100%!
Juniors explored the Chandler Art Museum, reflecting on themes of heroes and villains in their own stories, and crafted powerful 6-word “why” statements to inspire their personal narratives.
Sophomores visited ASU’s downtown campus, diving into brainstorming techniques at the Writing Center and exploring the intersection of history and public spaces in the community.
Freshmen traveled to Tucson’s Sonoran Desert Museum to deepen their biology research on endangered species and bond over road trip conversations and songs.
We wrapped up with our annual Montessori Friendsgiving, where students shared themed dishes, connected across grade levels, and enjoyed a lively game of Family Feud based on student surveys. Thank you, families, for supporting this cherished tradition!
Family Fun Night was a blast!
Our Shaw alumni love giving back to their community and presenting to 8th graders
Over $2.9 million in scholarships- well done Montessori Seniors!
