For the past 53 years, St. Joseph Montessori School has provided a Montessori education to students from all over Central Ohio. Despite the pandemic, we have been able to successfully keep our students learning in-person since August and their happy faces and voices fill our halls each day. We are fortunate that our small student body, and low student teacher ratio allows us to spread out and focus on each individual student’s education.

Last year, we were able to award over $136,000 in tuition assistance that allowed students to attend SJMS who would not have otherwise been able to afford the cost of tuition. The tuition assistance awarded is due, in part, to the St. Joseph Montessori School Annual Spring Gala. Last year, during our event, we raised over $30,000 for our tuition assistance program, Fund- A-Need. This year we are happy to announce that the Gala is returning to an in person event to be held at the Columbus Zoo in the Heart of Africa Event Center. We are so excited to be able to come together in person to celebrate and support our wonderful teachers and administrators who against all odds during the height of the pandemic provided a safe and caring environment for our students. In order for our Gala to be successful, we rely on local organizations to provide donations, place ads, and sponsor our Gala.
