"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.
"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.
"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.
Montessori School of Durham welcomes a diverse, inclusive community and celebrates the uniqueness of all of its members as part of our hope for a peaceful world.
Montessori School of Durham is committed to the joy of learning and seeks to educate the “whole child," addressing each aspect of development. Our classrooms offer a highly individualized curriculum, tailored to the unique path of each child’s development. Since 1976, we have built our community on respect and trust and have embraced diversity in all its aspects. We were the first school in North Carolina to become an American Montessori Society accredited school and now also maintain accreditation with Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.
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!
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."
