DPSCD’s Montessori Program offers a unique learning experience for students. Students are engaged in student-centered learning through hands-on experiences, a focus on social responsibility, and engaged communal learning that promote collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.

We believe our Montessori program is second to none and offers the opportunity for all students to reach their fullest potential. Prior to enrolling your child in a Montessori program it is important that you deeply understand the Montessori Method.
