The OFS mission is to ignite the spark in a new generation of courageous and capable leaders through a student-centered community of diversity, academic excellence, and innovation in the Montessori tradition. The Annual Fund allows us to offer the educational programs that help fulfill this mission: peace education, our expanding foreign language program, yoga and mindfulness classes, experiential learning and field trips, special events such as UN Day and Festival of Lights, as well as a strong financial aid program. Your support is especially important this year as we work to keep our families, faculty, and staff members safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, while meeting the academic, social, and emotional needs of our students.
