The Elementary Workshop Montessori School is accredited by the American Montessori Society, the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and the National Association of Independent Schools. Because the children spend from thirty to fifty hours per week at the school, it is essential that there be a close connection between school and home. EW acts as an extended family for its children and their parents. Parents are always welcome in the classroom and encouraged to become involved in the classroom activities if they so desire.
Teachers are available to answer questions, reassure parents and provide strong familiar support.
The Workshop is the most racially integrated non-public school in Delaware. There has always been an interesting and mutually enlightening mix at the Workshop. We are democrats, republicans, libertarians and socialists. We are Catholics, Moslems, Hindus, Quakers, humanists, Jews and Protestants. We are welfare families, wealthy families, struggling middle income families and dual professional families.
