After School Care Program
We’re excited to partner with the District-approved Boys and Girls Club for our After School Care program. They provide a safe and engaging environment for students, with care available until 7:00 PM. This partnership ensures that your child can enjoy enriching activities and support beyond school hours, giving families flexibility and peace of mind.
Drop-off & Pick-up (Yes, we do carpooling)
For your convenience, we offer two easy ways to drop off/pick up your child. You can walk your child along Main St. for close contact, where a staff member will greet and escort them, or you can use our carpool lane on Elm St. for a quick and efficient drop-off and pick-up. Both options are designed to make your school day routine as smooth as possible.
Our School
At Downtown Montessori at Ida B. Wells Academy, we are dedicated to nurturing the whole child and guiding them to become compassionate global citizens. Our Unique Montessori approach, combined with a strong partnership with parents, creates a safe and supportive environment where both students and teachers thrive.
Early Learning to Middle Excellence
We provide a nurturing and dynamic learning environment for students starting as young as 3 years old, all the way through 7th grade. From early childhood to the middle school years, our personalized instruction supports each child’s growth and development, helping them build a strong foundation for future success.
Montessori Education
In a Montessori classroom, children choose activities based on their interests and work at their own pace. Teachers guide and support rather than direct, helping children develop problem-solving skills and a sense of responsibility. The environment is structured to encourage exploration, with opportunities for both independent work and collaboration with peers.
Dual Language Program
We are proud to offer Dual Language Instruction at every grade level, ensuring that all students benefit from this enriching experience, regardless of where they start their educational journey. By immersing children in both languages from an early age, we help them build a strong foundation for success in a global society.
Parents and staff members act like one
We use an app to keep parents connected with us every day. Through the app, you’ll receive weekly updates and can reach out with any questions or concerns anytime. Each staff member has their own account, so you can easily communicate with anyone on campus throughout the day.
Afterschool/enrichment Activites
We are proud to offer Dual Language Instruction at every grade level, ensuring that all students benefit from this enriching experience, regardless of where they start their educational journey. By immersing children in both languages from an early age, we help them build a strong foundation for success in a global society.
School Hours & After school care
Our school doors open at 7:30 AM, and dismissal is at 3:20 PM. After school care, provided by the Boys and Girls Club, begins immediately after dismissal and runs until 7:00 PM.
