Welcome

Peace DCS Montessori is committed to preparing students for the journey ahead, equipping them to meet life’s challenges with a spirit of exploration, self-discovery, independence and delight.

Montessori education is based on the psychological characteristics and needs of the developing elementary child. Recognizing the natural curiosity and enthusiasm of children this age, the Montessori environment is designed to stimulate the developing intellect through the use of the imagination. Children this age desire to know the hows and whys of the world. The classroom's aim is to open fields of knowledge to the child's eager exploration.

We provide our students with a solid foundation based on the time-tested principles of Montessori education. We kindle in our students a life-long love of learning, encouraging them to think for themselves and to cultivate a compassion for others.

Achieving this mission lays the foundation for future academic achievement, personal fulfillment, and contribution to the world.
