Pullman Community Montessori (PCM) is Washington’s first public Montessori charter school and Pullman’s first public school choice option. PCM is a FREE, Public, Kindergarten through 9th-grade public charter school that opened its doors in fall 2021 to K-5th grades. The school is expanding one grade level per year through the 9th. PCM’s program is personalized to students’ needs and prepares them, through rigorous academics, a robust social-emotional program, and career and life skill development, to ensure every student has the opportunity, skills, and mindset to be successful in college, career, and life.

Our core features rely on a data-driven, high-quality, place-based Montessori program, deeply rooted in research, to achieve this goal and foster students’ love of learning. We are deeply committed to guiding students to be self-empowered lifelong learners, global citizens, environmental stewards, and compassionate and collaborative leaders, bringing positive changes to their communities and the world.

Students must be supported in multiple areas—academic, behavioral, and social-emotional—for them to develop the knowledge base, mindset, and suite of skills necessary to navigate the complexities of life and school. Failing to build a proper foundation in one of these areas could cause shortfalls in other areas.  The Montessori model elevates the development of these social-emotional and executive functioning skills to that of learning core content like math or language for students at all age levels.  This often leads to the reference of Montessori being a while-child educational approach.
