Alliance for Catholic Education
In 1997, founder and director, Dan Teller, a pioneer in the Montessori community, initiated discussions in the community to assess public interest in the formation of a Catholic Montessori school. These discussions produced a groundswell of support, and a core group of parents formed a Board of Trustees. Within a year, the Board raised $100,000 to launch the program, further demonstrating the profound degree of interest in the community for a Catholic Montessori program. In August 1998, Queen of Angels Montessori School (later renamed The Good Shepherd Catholic Montessori) opened its doors in leased space in Newtown, Ohio, with 28 preschool and kindergarten students. Since that time, the school maintained the business plan to expand one grade level per year and now serves 202 students from preschool through eighth grade. In 2002, the campus moved to its present location just north of Mariemont, Ohio.
The school recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, marking an important milestone in its history. As we look toward the future, the Board is focused on continuous improvement in key areas: student learning, faculty and staff development, facilities, and financial sustainability.
The current administrative team is modest, consisting of the Principal, an executive assistant, a parttime controller, and a part-time facilities manager. To better support the Principal and ensure the school’s continued growth, the Board believes the team should be expanded by adding an experienced leader. The Executive Director and the Principal will report to the Board of Trustees.
