On Thursday, January 31, 2024, Wilmington Montessori School celebrated 60 years of nurturing curiosity, fostering independence, and inspiring academic growth! Watch our new video as we reflect on the past and look forward to a bright future as Delaware's oldest and largest independent Montessori school.
Inspired by their service learning this year, Upper Elementary and Middle School students have put together a special event for the WMS community, a gathering aimed at supporting the Food Bank of Delaware, the World Food Program, Water for South Sudan, and Water is Life Kenya.
