Sterling Montessori Academy and Charter School strives to serve the educational needs of children and their families by providing a safe, healthy learning environment where, in keeping with the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori, children can progress at their own rate and learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.

Our school is comprised of two separate educational entities. The Academy serves children ages 3 - 5, and is a tuition based program. The Charter School serves children ages 6 - 14, which includes Kindergarten through 8th grade. Each institution has individualized admissions procedures.

Sterling Montessori Academy & Charter School uses the philosophy, method and didactic material of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952). Montessori education, based on children's developmental needs for freedom within limits, mandates a carefully prepared environment. The prepared environment guarantees exposure to materials and experiences that develop intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities. The materials are self-correcting, interesting to children, and developmentally appropriate.

We are centrally located in the RTP area with easy access from Raleigh, Cary and Durham.
