ArborCreek Montessori School

Founded in 1999, ArborCreek is nestled in a small,quiet suburb of northwest Dallas. Owned and operated by Teachers, our school is designed with the child in mind. With a family-like atmosphere, our custom built furniture, beautiful materials, and low student / teacher ratios make the learning experience exciting, challenging, and safe.
Beginner Classroom
"The first aim of the prepared environment is, as far as it is possible, to render the growing child independent of the adult." Maria Montessori

Our environments match the physical, emotional, psychological, and academic developmental levels of the children they serve. With the opportunity to complete the whole self -- just like the butterfly struggling to break free from its chrysalis -- the child is free to unfold and develop to reach its full potential. We combine exploration and discovery time with academic activities which lead the child to a greater understanding of their world. Art, music, Spanish/French, recycling, gardening, and composting are incorporated into daily activities. Our school provides art history, physical education, Yoga, Foreign Language study (Spanish/French), school supplies, craft and gift making, and snack at no additional charge.

Pre-Primary Classroom

Our students live in Farmers Branch, Addison, Carrollton, Coppell, Flower Mound, Garland, Irving, Southlake, Lewisville, North Dallas, Oak Cliff, Plano, and Richardson. Their parents have various educational levels ranging from High School through Doctoral degrees. Multi-culturally diverse, our families are from North, Central and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The 2008-09 Academic school year saw our tenth Kindergarten graduating class. Excited about our school, parents encouraged us to open an Elementary Class for first, second, and third grade siblings to be able to attend. Alumni have moved on to public Montessori schools, upper level private Montessori schools, accelerated public school programs, and other local private schools. In 2004, one of ArborCreek's alumnus was accepted into the Duke University Talent Search Program.

Our Parent/Teacher Organization participates in community service projects through collections and donations for: MetroCrest Social Services (Food/clothes/hygiene products/toy drives), Homeless Shelters, the Salvation Army, and the Red Cross. We also encourage environmental responsibility and involvement in helping other children by recycling and by participating in the National Association for Autism Research's "Walk Far for NAAR", the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's "Mini-March", St. Jude Children's Research Hospital's "Trike-a-Thon", the Focus Conservation Fund's "Tees for Trees" program, Locks of Love's hair donations, and other local charity events like collecting school supplies for displaced students who were victims of Katrina.

The owners of the school, out of a sense of generosity and dedication to their cause of education, established a fund to offer need-based scholarships which allows the children to attend our school at a reduced cost, experience a diverse classroom population, and which helps contribute to the local community. To date they have donated more than $40,000 in educational scholarships to needy children. If you would like to support their effort, click HERE to contact them.
