Carroll Creek Montessori Public Charter School (CCMPCS) is a public charter school that is operated by a non-profit organization, Monocacy Montessori Communities, Inc. (MMCI) within the Frederick County Public School system. CCMPCS offers a Montessori-based learning environment based on the Montessori Method as well as Spanish enrichment for all students. As a public charter school, CCMPCS is free and open to all residents of Frederick County. Admission to CCMPCS is done through a lottery.
Grades Served
CCMPCS opened in the fall of 2012 serving students ages three-year-olds through 3rd grade. We added one grade a year until we reached eighth grade in the 2017-2018 school year. The maximum capacity under our charter with 318 students, ages three through eighth grade, was achieved in the 2018-2019 school year.
Survey Results
FCPS administers a systemic survey to students in Grades 3-12, staff, and families each year to obtain stakeholder perceptions regarding their experience in areas such as school climate, academics, teaching experience, safety, well-being and sense of belonging, and communication and engagement. Results from the surveys are used to measure progress towards meeting school and systemic improvements and goals. View our 2026 survey results.
Upcoming School Location Change
There is a plan to relocate the school to the current Yellow Springs Elementary School (YSES) building once the newly constructed YSES facility is open.
