See For Yourself How St. Alcuin’s Proven Montessori Method<br />

and <strong>IB</strong> Curriculum Will Inspire Your Child to Excel<br />

WE’RE ABOUT ACADEMIC CHALLENGE AND PERSONAL<br />

GROWTH:<br />

• St Alcuin’s excellent academic program has been<br />

commended for introducing interdisciplinary thinking to<br />

students at all age levels. Our project-based curriculum,<br />

classroom interaction and individual participation<br />

inspires students to grow and flourish.<br />

WE’RE ABOUT A BALANCED EDUCATION:<br />

• Each student is an individual and we believe that<br />

curriculum should be as well, giving students<br />

opportunities to discover their strengths and practice in<br />

areas needing improvement. In addition to solid<br />

academics, St. Alcuin offers impressive fine arts,<br />

technology, outdoor education and athletic programs.<br />

Through a balanced education, St. Alcuin promotes a<br />

strong academic environment, which also fosters<br />

intercultural awareness and holistic learning experiences.<br />

WE’RE ABOUT LEARNING FROM 18 MONTHS THROUGH<br />

EIGHTH GRADE:<br />

• We have nearly 500 students from toddlers to eighth<br />

grade. We have a strong lower and upper school<br />

curriculum and we offer the <strong>IB</strong> Middle Years Programme<br />

(<strong>IB</strong>MYP) in grades 6 to 8.<br />

WE’RE ABOUT RESULTS:<br />

• 98% of all graduating eighth graders are accepted to their<br />

first choice of high school.<br />

Founded in 1964, St. Alcuin Montessori School nurtures and<br />

guides children from 18 months through eighth grade<br />

according to the principles and methods of Maria Montessori.<br />

As the largest Montessori school in the Southwest, St.<br />

Alcuin is an independent, nonsectarian, coeducational school<br />

serving a diverse community of approximately 500 students.<br />

The addition, in 2010, of two LEED-certified buildings that<br />

include a new gymnasium, two new libraries, and state-of-theart<br />

fourth through eighth grade classrooms, enhances St.<br />

Alcuin’s beautiful 12-acre campus in North Dallas. By<br />

emphasizing interdisciplinary studies across traditional<br />

academic, social, and international boundaries, St. Alcuin<br />

develops students’ capacities for critical thinking and<br />

compassionate action in a complex world. The middle school<br />

uses a Montessori approach while following the <strong>IB</strong> MYP<br />

framework.<br />

St. Alcuin Montessori School is accredited by the<br />

Independent Schools Association of the Southwest (ISAS),<br />

recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale<br />

(AMI), and authorized to offer <strong>IB</strong>MYP.<br />
