A Montessori and IB World School
Parent Education Program (PEP)
At MSR, we believe in lifelong learning. That's why we offer a parent education program designed to provide our parents with the information and resources they need to support their child's growth and learning.
The MSR Parent Education Program - commonly known as PEP, has two components: the Whole Child series offering programming relevant for parents with children of any age and the Montessori Parent series, offering grade-level content and information.
MSR’s Parent Education Program offers multiple PEP Weeks each year.
