Center in Durham, NC 27707
MCS is a learning community of children, parents, faculty, and staff, each with distinct roles and responsibilities. Adults work in concert to support childrens development as active, peaceful, life-long learners, and global citizens.
The Montessori Community School has emphasized a strong sense of community since our school was founded in 1980. At that time, a group of dedicated parents banded together to keep their childrens preschoolthen called the Chapel Hill Montessori Schoolin operation when the proprietors decided to close. Our community has grown consistently since our founding, and we have steadily added students, faculty, staff, and facilities over our 30-year history. Even with our growth, we remain strongly connected to our past and continue to value the strength of the families who had the vision to create our community.
