The Alexander Parents Association helps foster a warm, welcoming community where families can meet, connect, and build lasting relationships. From casual gatherings to larger school celebrations, these shared experiences strengthen the bond between home and school and help every family feel part of something bigger.
Alexander parents are encouraged to play an active role in school life by volunteering their time, sharing their talents, and contributing ideas. Through APA-sponsored events and community initiatives, families help enrich the student experience while modeling collaboration, generosity, and engagement.
APA fundraising helps support programs, events, and enrichment opportunities that enhance student life across the school year.Signature moments such as the APA Cocktail Party and Gala play an important role in sustaining special experiences that strengthen the wider Alexander community.
At Alexander Montessori School, the parent partnership is built on direct communication between families, teachers, and school leaders rather than through a traditional PTA structure.This allows questions and concerns to be addressed promptly, while the APA remains focused on community-building, parent leadership, and supporting a positive school experience for all.
From festive family celebrations to parent social gatherings and signature annual events, Alexander Montessori School’s community traditions bring families together throughout the year to connect, celebrate, and create lasting memories.

Dance Party & Hayride
Held on the first Friday in February, this lively event brings students together for an evening of music, dancing, and celebration.

The excitement continues outdoors with a tractor-pulled hayride led by Mr. McGhee, where children can sing along as they ride around campus.
Spring Carnival
Taking place on the first Saturday in March, the Spring Carnival is Alexander Montessori School’s largest and most highly attended community event. Hosted at the Ludlam Road Campus, it welcomes all families for a full day of games, rides, entertainment, and school spirit.

APA Gala
The APA Gala is the premier event of the spring season. This elegant evening features dinner, cocktails, dancing, and a silent auction, bringing the school community together for a memorable celebration filled with fun and excitement.
My five-year-old is reading first-grade books. But more than academics, we've built lifelong friendships here — for our children and for us as parents.
