MONTROSE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL OF INNOVATION (MESI) engages students with new and innovative ways of learning to best prepare them for a rapidly changing world. Challenge- and inquiry-based experiences infuse technology, creativity, collaboration and critical thinking into the everyday STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning environment. Each day, teachers engage students in hands-on activities that encourage them to problem solve, work collaboratively and understand the relevance of what they are learning. Montrose serves approximately 360 students in grades K-5. MESI is a neighborhood school and a school of choice, as part of the Northwest Suburban Integration School District (NWSISD).
