(Free Webinar) The Secret to Starting a Successful Montessori School with Martha Carver & Dr. Marc Seldin!

Join CGMS on Monday, March 2nd (7pm eastern / 4pm pacific) for a practical conversation about the key operational priorities, common pitfalls, and the leadership competencies that help a new school grow into a thriving, enduring community.

This free webinar will be hosted by Martha Carver and Dr. Marc Seldin. It will also include information about the CGMS Leadership Certification Course for Montessori school founders and emerging school leaders, and discuss how leadership training can help launch new successful schools.

Webinar Description

In order to create a place where families and children thrive, leaders need to blend both practical skills and a strong vision.

New school founders quickly discover the hidden curriculum of leadership: building sustainable enrollment, staff development and retention, setting tuition with confidence, creating peaceful work environments, managing cash flow, hiring and retaining aligned adults, communicating clearly with families, choosing systems that won’t collapse under growth, and meeting licensing, regulatory, and insurance requirements. If you’re forming a nonprofit, you’ll also be shaping a board that supports the mission without steering the ship into choppy waters. If you’re launching within a public or charter context, you’ll be navigating district expectations and state or local mandates while protecting Montessori integrity.

In the start-up phase of a school, “beautiful classrooms” is only one chapter of the story. We all want to create environments that feel alive with purposeful work, and in which families sense the difference the moment they walk through the door.

This is where leadership can make or break the dream.

A skilled leader can be the difference between a school that feels perpetually behind and reactive, and one that runs with a calm, confident rhythm. Between a school with uncertain cash flow and enrollment and a stable one which can confidently plan for future growth. Between an environment filled with constant friction, and a warm community where adults collaborate as intentionally as the children work.

In this webinar we will explore how the most effective Montessori founders identify their own strengths and supplement their weaker areas with a strong team. We’ll discuss how much a founder needs to know in order to lead each operational area, build the right team, and make sound decisions early, when the stakes are highest.
