We’re excited to reintroduce ourselves to the Del Ray community!
For the past 13 years, The Del Ray Montessori School (DRMS) has been proud to serve families by nurturing the growth of young learners. As the new head of school, I’d like to take a moment to share a little more about who we are, what we believe in, and why we’re so passionate about the Montessori method.
At DRMS, we are committed to offering a learning environment that respects the child as an individual. Montessori education is based on the belief that children are naturally curious and capable of self-directed learning. We provide an atmosphere where each child is empowered to explore, discover, and learn at their own pace.
Our classrooms are built on a foundation of key principles:
- Respect for the Child: We honor each child’s unique needs, interests, and developmental stage.
- Fostering Concentration and Independence: Our approach encourages children to focus on tasks and develop confidence in their abilities.
- Individualized Learning Paths: We believe every child learns differently, so we tailor education to each child’s strengths, needs, and learning style.
Whether your child is 18 months or 12 years old, we create an environment that supports their growth as an independent, thoughtful, and capable individual.
The Del Ray Montessori School offers rolling admissions for all levels, so applications are accepted throughout the year. However, we would like to encourage you to submit your application by February 1 to ensure your child is considered in our first round of applications.
By submitting your application by this date, you’ll give your child priority consideration for the upcoming school year. After February 1, we continue to accept applications on a rolling basis, depending on availability.
Whether you are exploring Montessori education for the first time or looking for the right fit for your child’s next educational step, we invite you to learn more about our program and apply today.
