A Brief History of Montessori Education in Richland One

 

Richland One has been a leader in public school Montessori education in the Midlands since 2000.  The School Board and district administration began their support of Montessori education in 2000 with the opening of the first public Montessori school in South Carolina, Brockman Elementary, a total Montessori school.  In response to continued interest from parents the district opened two additional sites in 2004 at Caughman Road and Logan Elementary and then a fourth at Gadsden Elementary in 2007.  The district continued its support with its expansion to Montessori middle school in 2014 at W.G. Sanders Middle School.
