About Our CSN
The Free Horizon Montessori Foundation (the FHMF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization supporting Free Horizon Montessori (FHM) in providing individualized instruction, delivering engaging curriculum, and supporting strong community.
When Free Horizon Montessori was established in 2002, the founders also created the FHMF. The purpose of the Foundation is to serve as the fundraising arm of the school and to provide an independent bank account from which the school could draw upon to support itself.
In 2006, the Community Support Network (the CSN) was established by FHMF to better address the needs of the FHM Community.
