About Us

Durango Montessori Elementary School was established in 2005 and is located in the Smiley Building near downtown Durango.  As a nonprofit educational organization our goal is to provide quality education based on the Montessori philosophy for children ages 6 - 11. 
 
Durango Montessori houses 2 separate classrooms, the lower elementary (1st-3rd grade), and an upper elementary classroom (4th-5th grade). There are 20-23 students in each classroom with two or more Montessori certified teachers in each.

At Durango Montessori, both state and national standards are adhered to while teaching the Montessori curriculum. 

Our students receive a well rounded school experience.  Each week the students enjoy regular classes in art, music, Spanish, physical education, and computer technology.  Each instructor is professionally trained in their field and provided for us through the Durango 9R Shared Schooling Program.

Administrative office hours are 8:30am-12:00pm, Monday and Wednesday, and at 12:30pm-3:00pm on Tuesdays during the school year.  Contact the Director, Mary Polino, any time through email: mary@durangomontessori.com
or by the school phone, (970) 769-3590.
