Our Mission The mission of the DCS Montessori Charter School is to provide students with an opportunity to acquire an education based on authentic and accredited curriculum founded on the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori. School Profile DCS Montessori School is a public Charter School, located in the North Castle Pines community of 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 North Castle Pines.
We are currently a school of approximately of 450 students ages 3 through 12, 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, foster 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 life-long love of learning. Historically, Montessori elementary students do well compared with their elementary peers. Montessori schools are academically high-rated schools, and DCS Montessori plans to continue this tradition.
