Campus Expansion
There is not enough infant, toddler, and preschool care available on Martha’s Vineyard. Vineyard Montessori School has a solution. By 2025, VMS will create 43 new spots, for a total of 121 spaces — closing the Island-wide gap significantly.

Annual Fund
VMS has prospered due to a strong heritage of giving. Through our families’ time, energy, and financial support, we have been able to offer exceptional programs to many students since 1975. Contributions through the years have allowed us to continually update classroom materials, equip classrooms, maintain a faculty composed of educators of the highest quality, and bridge the gap between tuition and the cost of educating each student.

Equitable Access to Childcare and Early Education
