Visiting the School

We invite visitors to tour our beautiful campus and experience first-hand what we have to offer your children. There are two primary ways to visit MCS: Tuesday Morning Slideshows & Tours and Sunday Open Houses. Please see the descriptions below for more details. If neither of these will fit your schedule, please call our office (919-493-8541) and we will try to accommodate you.

Tuesday Morning Presentation for Prospective Parents

We invite you to learn more about our school by offering prospective parents an opportunity to view a slide show and take a guided tour of our campus. You will learn about Montessori Community School, the Montessori philosophy and visit each classroom.

The Slide Presentation and Tour starts at 9:15 a.m. and ends at approximately 10:15 a.m. It is followed by a Question & Answer session with the Head of School or Assistant Head of School, a director or directress, as well as the Director of Admissions. Please call the office to reserve a spot because space can be limited, and to help us be sure that a director/ress at the appropriate level is available to answer your questions at the Question & Answer session.

We ask that you do not bring your child, as the presentation is for adults only.

Slide show & tours are scheduled every Tuesday morning except on days when the school is engaged in an unusual activity, such as the annual Opera, standardized testing, off-campus trips, and the like. If these dates are impossible for you, please call the Admissions Office and we will try to accomodate you. The dates when slide show/tours in 2007-08 are scheduled are:
