Welcome to SMMS! |
Sunnyside Mennonite Mennonite School is a small school in the heart of the Hawthorne neighborhood of Southeast Portland. We are committed to following the teaching methods of Maria Montessori, whose ideas were ahead-of-her time, but have stood the test of time. Throughout its history, SMMS has been committed to making high-quality early childhood education affordable. Through annual fundraising, and with generous sponsorship from Portland Mennonite Church, we are able to keep tuition costs low.

Weekly Park Gatherings
On Fridays, families are invited to bring masks and a blanket to a park, where we engage in some group activities together. This provides some distanced, in-person, interaction for the children. |
At-Home Bags
Monthly, at-home bags are distributed to families, containing supplies that are used during Zoom learning sessions, as well as for offline work and discovery at home. |
