Happy 10th Anniversary to OMS!
Orion Montessori School opened its door to families on March 23, 2015. Its humble beginning was in Ms. Shriee's home in San Jose. She started the school with three Primary children. Parents pioneered the growth of the school and motivated her to add multiple program levels. The school continued to grow. In 2016, OMS moved to the Cypress Avenue location with children in the Toddler, Primary and Elementary levels. In 2019, the school signed a contract with the CUSD and moved to its current campus.
We want to sincerely thank all of the parents, children and team members who have made this school a success. We are grateful to have seen so many children thrive and blossom at OMS over in the last decade!
