Urban Montessori Charter School (UMCS) in Oakland, CA, was established with the vision of making high-quality Montessori education accessible to all families, fostering peace, independence, and respect for children. After twelve years of dedicated service, UMCS has transitioned to a new phase, continuing its mission at Brookfield Elementary with primary and elementary classrooms, while also evolving into the Public Montessori Institute of Oakland to support teacher training and community engagement. The school was built upon the collective efforts of founders, staff, and families who embraced its unique educational model, creating a nurturing environment that celebrated each child's potential. Although UMCS has closed as a school, its legacy and commitment to public Montessori education will persist through its ongoing initiatives and support for educators and communities alike.
