The Legacy Fund
Investing in the next generation of world changers and peace makers.
We have the opportunity to expand our campus to better serve our school family and community.
Together we can reach our goal.
5M with 100% participation.
Established in the Spring of 2023, the Legacy Fund is a five-year-long capital campaign with a goal of five million dollars to benefit the May River Montessori School.
Founded in 1987, May River Montessori has served thousands of children in the greater Bluffton area with its unique approach to education that emphasizes whole-child development, promoting creativity and autonomy while building a community founded on acceptance and respect.
Infused with the ideals of its Lowcountry home, May River Montessori places a heavy emphasis on volunteerism, environmental stewardship, and community connection.
Through our one-of-a-kind organic gardening program and our entrepreneurship education beginning in elementary, students are authentically engaged in immersive real-world experience that fosters a wealth of knowledge and skills, traditionally inaccessible in a school environment.
It is no wonder, that the May River Montessori community has flourished and grown, exceeding the capacity of our current campus.
In the Summer of 2021, plans began to erect a fourth building on our grounds.
To meet the needs of our growing community, the plans for this building are to house both an expanded toddler program and full secondary program making us the first in the area to offer this unique education experience to children continuously from the age of 18 months to 18 years.
Additional support from the fund will be used to expand, renovate, and secure each classroom’s access to outdoor learning spaces, thus allowing for the continuous free movement of students between the indoors and outdoors as they navigate their learning environments and progress down their individual educational paths.
