We provide mixed-age classrooms for children ages 3 to 9 years.
We offer 4 grade levels: Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st Grade, and 2nd Grade. Our class sizes are small enough that each student receives the attention they need but big enough that our students can learn and grow together.
We are approved and accept NC opportunity scholarships
Alhamdulilah, Mishkah Montessori has been approved for participation in the Opportunity Scholarship and Education Student Accounts Programs for those in need of tuition assistance.
