Outcomes

Outcome #1

Christlike Identity

Who am I? What makes me... me? What do I believe? Where did I come from?

This is orientation, a foremost human tendency, a launchpad for other human tendencies. Against a complex backdrop of racial, ethnic, and gender identity issues, it becomes essential to clarify what we mean by a Christlike Identity.

It basically means who God says I am in Christ:

I am not a cosmic accident; I am created by God in His image
I am God's offspring, and He knows my name
I have divine qualities along with my unique personality
I am part of the body of Christ
I have the Spirit of God and the mind of Christ

"When we know who He is, we will know who we are, because as we behold Him we are transformed into the same likeness."

Outcome #2

The Great Commandments

Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbor as yourself.

A non-sectarian Montessori education already promises certain virtues for our graduates. Having lived through two world wars, Maria Montessori had much to say about the purpose of education and the society she envisioned.

Thousands of years before Jesus Christ, God gave Moses the law—ten commandments and 613 precepts, ordinances, and laws. When Jesus came, he articulated that there are two commandments that encompass all the law and the prophets.

This answers the quest for world peace.

It is our vision that Christian Montessori alumni are living in the Great Commandments—loving God fully and loving their neighbors as themselves.

Outcome #3

Creation Intelligence

We envision alumni who enter their vocations as innovators, culture-shapers, and restorers.

Creation Intelligence is rooted in Genesis 1:26-28, where God calls humanity to reflect His image by cultivating, shaping, and improving the world.

Historical Examples:

Johann Gutenberg

Invented the printing press, making Scripture accessible to ordinary people

George Washington Carver

Used scientific research to create hundreds of life-giving products for farming communities

Michelangelo

Expressed the beauty and dignity of God's creation through art and architecture

Creation Intelligence prepares children to follow in this legacy—entering their careers as faithful stewards who create, build, discover, imagine, and lead in ways that bless the world and honor God.

Outcome #4

The Great Commission

Go and make disciples of all nations...

We see a world in which graduates of Christian Montessori programs are actively involved in "making disciples of all nations"—not only through formal ministry, but through the quiet, steady witness of a life shaped by Christ.

The Great Commission is not simply an instruction for pastors or missionaries; it is the call of every believer to carry the life of Jesus into the world through character, vocation, service, and love.

Children formed in Christian Montessori environments grow into adults who know Christ, reflect Him, and make Him known through their daily work and relationships. Whether they become scientists, artists, engineers, teachers, entrepreneurs, or community builders, they live with the consciousness that their lives are part of God's redemptive story. Through their example, their integrity, and their love, they become living witnesses— disciples who make disciples.
