The concept of “educating for unity” is a novelty in modern educational lexicon but at City Montessori School it has been an article of faith since the very founding of the school in 1959. CMS is the world’s only school to have a full-fledged World Unity & Peace Education Department. CMS believes in the power of education to influence and shape society that values social justice, respect for others and a belief in the dignity and rights of every human life – in short, a culture of world unity and peace.
