Welcome to TEMPO: Tempe Montessori Parent Organization

Tempe Montessori Parents’ Organization (TEMPO) was established in 1995. TEMPO exists to preserve and enhance the mission of Tempe Montessori School (TMS). We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to serving the educational needs of students seeking a Montessori education.

Tempe Montessori School, founded in 1978, celebrates the universal developmental needs of children and the cultural diversity of humankind. TEMPO holds fundraisers and accepts donations to support the mission of Tempe Montessori School. We are committed to enabling student-directed learning and the joy of discovery, expand the child’s views of the world, inspire in-depth study, and develop social responsibility, including the principles of peace.

Mission Statement

“To provide a quality AMI Montessori education for the children, and to help parents achieve their highest goals in the education of their children, by following the teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori in an effective and sensitive manner.”

TEMPO provides funding for scholarships, classroom materials, guest speakers, field trips and continued teacher professional development. Part of how we raise scholarship money is that we hold several larger fundraising events which include an annual silent auction/raffle in the spring semester and an annual golf tournament in the fall semester.

Remember to collect those Box Tops throughout the year so we can start out this school year fundraising with a bang! There is a Box Top mailbox located on the Primary Carport. Most box tops are now electronic. Be sure to download the BoxTops app on your mobile device and you can scan your receipt directly into it to give to our school, Tempe Montessori School. It will credit the school directly.

Here are other TEMPO fundraising opportunities, including Amazon Smile: Fundraising Here

We hope everyone has enjoyed the school year as much as we have. We welcome your feedback and look forward to seeing everyone at TEMPO meetings this year. TEMPO Meetings are located in the Elementary Classroom at 5:15pm. Please check the calendar for dates.

There is a lot happening here at the Tempe Montessori School. We have many activities from the fall Golf Scramble to International Children’s Day to our Spring Silent Auction (Parent’s Night Out) and monthly school as well as TEMPO (parent organization) meetings. All of our activities are designed to enhance your child’s care, learning and experience while they are here with us. Additionally, many of our activities are geared towards you as parents to enhance your experience and growth with the Montessori teaching method which should help you better understand what your children are doing throughout the day and to help you better understand your children in general.
