The mission of the Sussex Montessori School (SMS) is to nurture the development of empathetic, collaborative, persistent, and innovative global and community citizens in accordance with the time-tested philosophy of Maria Montessori, Southern Delaware’s premier public Montessori school is located in beautiful Western Sussex County and provides tuition-free, Montessori education for students in grades K-6.

Established in 2020, Sussex Montessori is a public charter elementary school, serving grades K-6 in Seaford, Delaware, with a total enrollment of over 400 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 56.08% White, 23.82% African American, 10.67% Hispanic, 2.48% Asian, and 6.95% two or more races.

Because all children develop at different rates, Sussex Montessori provides a warm, supportive environment in which each student can grow and thrive according to their individual needs.

Personalized learning, building peer relationships, and solving real-life challenges encourage innovative learning skills.
