CALIFORNIA MONTESSORI PROJECT - ELK GROVE CAMPUS

California Montessori Project - Elk Grove Campus is a public charter elementary school that is part of the Elk Grove Unified school district, located in Elk Grove, CA with about 456 students offering grade levels from Kindergarten to 8th Grade. With about 21 teachers, California Montessori Project - Elk Grove Campus has a student/teacher ratio of about 21:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The California Montessori Project (CMP) - Elk Grove Campus is a tuition-free public charter school that serves students from transitional kindergarten through eighth grade. As part of a larger network of Montessori schools in California, the campus adheres to the core Montessori philosophy, which emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative play. The school’s curriculum is designed to foster both academic excellence and personal independence, placing students in multi-age classrooms where they can progress at their own pace under the guidance of specially trained teachers.

Beyond traditional academics, the Elk Grove campus focuses on developing the "whole child" by cultivating social responsibility, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning. Because it is a public charter school, it remains committed to accessibility and inclusivity, operating under the oversight of the Elk Grove Unified School District while maintaining the unique structural and pedagogical approach of the Montessori method. The school provides a community-oriented environment where parents are encouraged to be actively involved, helping to create a supportive foundation for student development.
