Mission statement

Joliet Montessori School inspires students to engage academically and socially every day, developing independence, a love of work and a respect for all.

History

JMS has been in existence since 1966.[1] The school began in rented rooms at the Guardian Angel Home with two primary classrooms. The present building at 1600 Root Street, in Crest Hill, opened for children in 1968, and an elementary classroom was added in 1969. Subsequent elementary classrooms were added, and in 2005, JMS opened an adolescent program for students ages 12–15.

Campus

The campus now consists of two adjacent buildings, the original school building and the Adolescent House which opened in May 2010.

gollark: Isn't this one of those "basically a population heatmap" things?
gollark: Well, I have a lot of *music I like*, but this is inherently very subjective.
gollark: I'm not really sure what to do about this or if it's much of a problem, but the sentence structure seems kind of simplistic.
gollark: Sure? I'm also not sure about `of the less fortunate`, that's weird grammar.
