Prepared
Learn how a Montessori education can prepare your child for life.

"We do not say that we want to prepare a school for the children, we wish to prepare an environment for life, where the child can develop a life." -Maria Montessori

Modern neuroscience confirms that classic Montessori methods promote problem solving, independent thinking, creativity, and collaboration.

Why Montessori? Prepare your child.

Transformed
Free the child's potential, and you will transform him into the world.

"Free the child's potential, and you will transform [them] into the world." -Maria Montessori

This transformation begins in our prepared environments that foster the
development of order, concentration, coordination, and independence in a gentle atmosphere of respect, care, grace, and courtesy.

Independent
Who do MSD graduates become?

"No one can be free unless [they are] independent: therefore, the first, active manifestations of the child's individual liberty must be so guided that through this activity [they] may arrive at independence." -Maria Montessori

At Montessori School of Durham, the child is in the process of becoming.

MSD's Spring Fling

We are excited to reintroduce the Spring Fling after some time off due to the pandemic and are hoping this year will be a big hit. The Spring Fling is intended to be a fun community event at school which will include a bounce house, games, and activities for children of all ages and families to enjoy. This year's Spring Fling will be held on Saturday, April 29th from 11am-2pm.  This event is sponsored by the Parent's Association but couldn't be possible without the help and support of our MSD families. This can be done in a variety of ways. Use the newsletter announcement sign up links to take part!
 

MSD's Book Fair

Families can shop the Book Fair beginning during the Spring Fling. Shopping will continue through the week of May 1st-May 5th during the noon and 3pm carline times. Grown-ups can set up an e-wallet for their child to shop with directly from the book fair homepage. If you are clearing out books from your house to make room for new books, consider donating books for Book Harvest! We will have a collection box set up. Families can also buy and donate books for our campus "Little Solidarity Library."
