Winter Break, NO SCHOOL!

Testimonials

The teachers are so loving and thoughtful about each individual student. Using the Montessori Method, each child is able to move at the pace that is right for them. The teachers also look for opportunities to let the kids teach each other. For example, one of my kids has mastered one of the “works” that teaches multiplication, so the teachers will often ask him to teach other kids how to use it. It reinforces what he has learned and also teaches him empathy and patience.

Teachers at this school are effective

For 2024-2025 school year:
We don’t anticipate changes with enrollment in the primary classroom (ages 3-6). Currently full. We are accepting applications for Lower Elementary (ages 6-9) and Upper Elementary (ages 9-11) for 2024 and beyond.

For 2025-2026:
We currently have several students in the waiting pool to schedule observations and tours (ages 3-6). Again, Lower and Upper elementary are accepting applications.

We say waiting pool because there are a few factors contributing to enrollment, aside from date of application. We try to give priority to families with siblings already currently enrolled, families who intend to do Montessori through the elementary years here at DPM, the child’s age to ensure a balanced classroom, the commitment to Montessori practices at home, and there is an observation of the prospective student in the classroom with the teacher that takes place prior to enrollment.

For that reason, it is impossible to say for sure whether there’s space available until admissions decisions have been made in January. That’s when the enrollment invitation goes out to families who have completed the process and who’s kiddos are eligible to start in the following school year. If you have any questions, please feel free to email Alex, [email protected].
