Housing Options

All information on this page was updated on February 29th, 2024.

Adult learners are responsible for securing their own housing during their summer stays (with the exception of the Erdkinder course, which is included). As a courtesy, we have built relationships with a few universities to give participants options that we can recommend.

To review your in-person training dates, please refer to our pacing guides here.

Airbnb Housing & Rentals

Airbnb will have many different rates and availability near and far your different class locations. It is important to remember that you will be responsible to get to and from class and if you do not have a car, this option may limit your ability to carpool. We recommend that adult learners stay at one of the two university options to experience the community aspect of the training, but we understand that some people may choose a different housing plan.

University of Cincinnati Housing

The University of Cincinnati is pleased to offer CMStep learners affordable housing ($40/person/night – shared unit) in Scioto Hall, an apartment community with floor-to-ceiling windows providing breathtaking views. Registration for Scioto Hall is now open. The University of Cincinnati has sold out of single units, so only shared units will be available.

Xavier University Housing

No new information now. Please stay tuned for more information from your cohort directors!

Note: Adult Learners have the opportunity to earn a Masters Degree through CMStep coursework plus a few additional online classes at Xavier University. Those who indicated interest on their application will be contacted by the CMStep office for a presentation by Tori Pinciotti. If you have questions in the meantime, you can contact Tori at pinciottiv@xavier.edu. For any questions about earning graduate credit or earning your Masters of Education Degree, contact Dr. Vanessa Rigaud at rigaudv@xavier.edu or Montessori@xavier.edu.

I am so glad I decided to stay with my cohort at Xavier instead of commute. We bonded in an amazing way that we could not have done otherwise.

The housing was a typical university, it was nice to be so close to class. It was the most affordable option for our district and ended up working out just fine.

We carpooled everyday. There was always someone getting groceries, headed to get supplies for our projects, or staying late at training. I never missed having my car.
