The Montessori School on Edgewood, which opened in 2006, is the first publicly supported Montessori School in New Haven. It was created as a project of the Greater Dwight Development Corporation (GDDC).
A major neighborhood priority highlighted in the Dwight neighborhood’s Comprehensive Plan was to provide the best beginning for their children in a full day, full-year program.
“Children have an absorbent mind. They absorb knowledge from the environment without fatigue. [...] This is the moment in the life of man when we can do something for the betterment of humanity and further brotherhood. ”
