Welcome to Our Beautiful Campus in Mid-Coast Maine

Are you looking for an excellent school environment where your child can learn at his/her own pace and never be bored or frustrated?  A school where your child can excel academically and also be part of a respectful classroom community that values creative problem solving and collaboration?  A school that provides an education that prepares your child for success and advancement in new modern era?  A school that values diversity and cultural sharing?

Damariscotta Montessori School is an accredited non-profit private alternative school located in scenic Lincoln County Maine.  Conveniently located off Route 1, we offer a unique and diverse Montessori classroom program for children ages 2 1/2 through 15, preschool through Grade 8. 

The basic aim of the Montessori philosophy is to cultivate the natural curiosity and love of  learning that is present in all children.  We accomplish this in our beautiful and unique multi-aged classrooms.  Hands on learning is done at a child's own pace to create life long learners who value knowledge, imagination, creativity, and innovative problem-solving.  Along with a deep, rich, academic curriculum, we value teamwork, collaboration, effective conflict resolution, cultural awareness, and teaching respect for each other and the environment.  We use our beautiful outdoor campus as an extension of our indoor classrooms for learning, exploration, gardening,  community service, and play.

Our school community is a place where all children are valued as individuals. We believe that each child has a diverse mix of feelings, ideas, and interests that deserve to be honored. By respecting and nurturing the uniqueness of each child we strive to build a foundation for a lifetime of creative learning and living.
