Letter from the Head of School
Hello to Current and Prospective Parents, Staff and Students,
I can’t express enough how honored I am to be the Head of School at DCS Montessori Charter School. My enthusiasm for Montessori education has been spilling over ever since the DCS Montessori Board of Directors gave me the opportunity to be a part of this school. It has been an absolute joy working with such a talented group of passionate educators, parents and students, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.
Our goals are many at DCS Montessori, but our first and foremost aim is providing a public, authentic and accredited Montessori Education to the families of Douglas County. We are constantly finding ourselves indebted to the work of Maria Montessori, and consistently seek to build our understanding of the Montessori Philosophy. We are always seeking opportunities to share this with our parents and community as well. In that framework, we offer many opportunities for parent participation and education, where I cherish opportunities to improve and grow our school in working with our dedicated parent community.
Being that we are a Montessori school, I look to observe our school and follow its interests. Being that we are a charter school, I look to make the changes that best benefit our students without the strings of bureaucracy. But most of all, being a Head of School, I look forward to any opportunity to help our students learn and grow to the maximum of their potential. I anticipate seeing you here, and as always thanks for supporting DCS Montessori.
Listen, Work Hard, Reflect, Educate, and Celebrate
Jeromy Johnson
DCS Montessori, Head of School HistoryDCS Montessori School is a public Charter school, located in Douglas County, Colorado, which implements the Montessori philosophy of education. The school opened in the fall of 1997 with approximately 130 students. In the fall of 2000, we opened our new school building on 10 acres of land in Castle Pines North. We are currently a school of approximately 470 students, ages three to twelve, housed in a new 50,000 square foot facility that provides ample space for indoor and outdoor education and play. DCS Montessori offers an authentic Montessori curriculum for children from age 3 through sixth grade. Multi-age classrooms, with children acting as both students and teachers, fostering a close-knit community where children learn to respect themselves, others, and the environment. Children progress at their own pace, mastering a set progression of skills and learning objectives. This self-paced curriculum with traditional Montessori materials encourages independence, problem solving and a lifelong love of learning. Historically, Montessori elementary students do well compared to their elementary school peers. Montessori schools are academically high-rated schools, and DCS Montessori plans to continue this tradition. Contact Us
The school is located between Lone Tree and Castle Rock, 1/2 mile west off I-25 at exit 188.
