Extracurricular activities and special performances throughout the year provide our children with the opportunity to develop the abilities of public speaking, to demonstrate special talents, to fulfill themselves outside the academic routine, and to enhance their enjoyment of the school experience. Children find Alexander Montessori School a happy, friendly, and challenging place.
Some of these activities are conducted during school hours and others are conducted after school. Please contact your Campus Secretary for more information and a registration form.
