Dearborn Heights Montessori Center, a non-profit educational community founded in 1972, provides a non-graded, individualized learning environment for approximately 400 children from preschool through eighth grade.

In the Montessori classroom, the children are motivated by their own interest and excitement. In this atmosphere they are encouraged to develop a positive self-image and to experience the satisfaction of helping others, while experiencing the joy of learning.

Academic standards are high, and sequential learning materials lead the child to mastery. The curriculum is based upon the Montessori method, which, we believe, enables each child to reach his or her potential.

Students in Montessori schools are actively involved in their own learning--not just repeating information dictated by a teacher, but experiencing, discovering, researching, and finally abstracting information from a variety of resources. In short, Montessori children learn how to learn.

Curriculum support teachers in art, music, physical education, French, Spanish, and technology supplement the regular classroom programs. Our seven-acre site and our school building offer spacious classrooms, a gymnasium and stage, and well-developed outdoor play areas.

Dearborn Heights Montessori Center is affiliated with the American Montessori Society, Michigan Montessori Society, and the Association of Independent Michigan Schools (AIMS). We are approved by the Michigan Department of Education; and accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Our preschool and latchkey programs are licensed by the Michigan Division of Child Care Licensing.
