Established in 1974, The Montessori School of Raleigh (MSR) serves as a beacon of Montessori education in the Triangle. As the only school in the region holding both Montessori and IB World School accreditation, MSR offers a unique blend of curricula that promotes independent learning and global perspectives.
MSR operates two beautiful campuses. The Lead Mine Campus in North Raleigh spans 10 acres and includes five academic buildings, a full-size gym, theater, library/media center, and various outdoor learning spaces. The Brier Creek Campus in Durham features two academic buildings, science labs, a community kitchen, a soccer field, and the Land and Livestock program, all set on 40 acres of land.
Serving students from six weeks to grade 12, MSR's Montessori classrooms feature mixed-age groups, fostering leadership and collaboration. The integration of Montessori and IB programs ensures rigorous academics while nurturing the whole child, with a strong emphasis on peace education and global awareness.
MSR celebrates diversity, with 37% of students and 40% of faculty identifying as people of color. The school community speaks 15 global languages, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and cultural richness.
MSR offers enriching extracurriculars such as the Suzuki Violin program, SummerScape camp, and a variety of after-school Studios, including theater, sports, and crafts, catering to a wide range of interests.
Families choose MSR for its dedication to fostering independent learners in a nurturing, diverse, and inclusive environment, providing a strong foundation for lifelong learning and personal growth.
The students and staff of The Montessori School of Raleigh invite and welcome you to visit our school as we host the Montessori Association of North Carolina’s Annual Conference, “Montessori For All,” October 11th-12th, 2024.
