The Hockessin Montessori School

The Hockessin Montessori School Hockessin Montessori School offers a personalized education for students 12 months to 8th Grade.

Our Vision:
The Hockessin Montessori School supports our community of students, teachers and staff in reaching their full potential by utilizing the Montessori Method in a highly supportive atmosphere, through year-round programs in a state of the art educational environment. The Hockessin Montessori School is an independent, non-profit school, founded in 1963, which promotes quality education for

children ages 12 months through Eighth grade. As a non-sectarian school, our population is drawn from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The classroom environment stimulates intellectual, emotional, social, physical, and cultural growth. The school promotes development of self-motivation, independence, curiosity, and concern for others within the framework of a developmentally appropriate academic program. As an accredited affiliate of the American Montessori Society (AMS), we follow professional guidelines for operating and equipping a Montessori school. We employ teachers certified in Montessori Methodology that are experienced and dedicated to Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School education and we support their ongoing professional development. We offer and encourage education for parents about the school's philosophy and consider their cooperation and support significant.

What a Great Way to Kick Off the School Year! It was wonderful to see so many of our HMS families at our Back-to-School Social! We loved seeing everyone reconnect and meeting new friends. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

A special thank you to two of our go-to local favorites who always provide the most delicious treats — Barcelona Pizza Pike Creek and Woodside Farm Creamery! 🍕🍦

We can’t wait for a fantastic school year ahead!

Art in the air, thanks to New Garden Flying Field ... campers had front-row seats to a little surprise today as a skywriter painted the sky right above HMS.

There's nothing quite like watching the clouds become a canvas—just another unforgettable summer camp moment!

🩺 Community Heroes Week at HMS Camp! Our campers had the incredible opportunity to meet one of our very own HMS parents and a true community hero, Dr. Surjeet Dheer, DO!

Dr. Dheer spent time sharing what it's like to be a physician, giving campers a behind-the-scenes look at a day in the life of a doctor. He talked about caring for patients and answered lots of questions from our curious campers.

A big thank you to Dr. Dheer for taking the time to visit our campers and for helping make Community Heroes Week such a memorable experience!
