Welcome to Monterey Community School!

As a school, we empower students with the leadership and life skills they need to thrive in the 21st century. Our practice is based on principles of personal, interpersonal, and organizational effectiveness, and upon the powerful premise that every child has genius within them and the ability to be a leader. In partnership with the Leader in Me program, Monterey students learn the skills necessary to become self-reliant, take initiative, be considerate of others, find creative solutions, value differences, and live a balanced life. Our students succeed in life, school, and beyond.
