Statesville Montessori is a small, private school in North Carolina serving children from preschool through 8th grade.
Our school offers an alternative to typical, test-driven, teacher-focused learning.
The Montessori Method suggests that children should be in charge of their own learning with nurturing teachers who gently guide students - offering freedom within limits.
Multi-age classrooms foster collaboration, community, and leadership skills while independent work hones responsibility, time-management, and a strong work ethic.
Children begin to love learning and become enthusiastic seekers of knowledge.
