In its 111th year, Montessori education continues to inspire children and celebrate their love of learning, individual growth, and independence within the context of a social community. . HPMS fosters positive social growth in an authentic community of children. Boys and girls of all socio-economic, ethnic, and religious backgrounds learn together in multi-age classrooms. Lessons in Grace and Courtesy model appropriate ways for children to interact in social situations. Throughout their days, every child has opportunities to be both learner and leader, where self-esteem develops naturally. 0 0 633680 0 625242 In the Toddler Community there are mixed ages between 16 and 33 months, and in the Children's House, there are mixed ages between 33 months and six years. In a mixed age group setting, children of different ages help one another. The younger ones learn from the older and the older teach the younger. An older child understands the younger child and can offer help. The three year old is interested in what the child of five is doing and knows they too will reach that point in their own development. In the Children's House setting, the child goes from being the youngest to being the oldest. Each child has the experience of learning from, and teaching others. 0 0 0 633680 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 1 14 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 MN X Sarah Terrell 6516905327 1550 Summit Ave Saint Paul MN 55105 Stephanie Clark Head of School 40 40 X 76348 0 0 Jonathan Oppenheimer President 1 1 X 0 0 0 Lee Schafer Treasurer 1 1 X 0 0 0 Rachel Morris Secretary 1 1 X 0 0 0 Sean Blanchet Member 1 1 X 0 0 0 Barbara Shank Member 1 1 X 0 0 0 76348 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 45180 1725 0 46905 SCHOOL TUITION 611600 625242 625242 0 0 0 0 0 0 625242 4149 4149 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 676296 629391 0 0 518421 456842 60077 1502 836 737 97 2 42944 37843 4977 124 3886 0 3886 0 1250 0 0 1250 9372 7765 1583 24 85793 75602 9942 249 726 640 84 2 3169 3169 11741 10346 1361 34 Other Expenses 1412 407 0 1005 Educational supplies and materials 40329 40329 0 0 719879 633680 82007 4192 187207 143471 113669 116990 38315 12594 28889 25721 17951 17951 347716 304133 0 0 X 347716 304133 0 0 347716 304133 347716 304133 -43583 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 38315 0 12594 25721 0 0 0 0 25721 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 HIGHLAND PARK MONTESSORI SCHOOL IS A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION.
