Learn why families choose Montessori School of Durham for their child
"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
