We strive to empower each student to become life-long learners who respect themselves, others and their environment.
Sterling Montessori Academy and Charter School uses the philosophy, methods and didactic material of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952)...

In an effort to have effective and efficient communication with our families, the state of North Carolina has moved from PowerSchool to Infinite Campus as the student information system. While Sterling has been working diligently over the summer to prepare for this new system, and we have successfully made the transfer, we are not going to be able to send out welcome packets as early as in past years. We anticipate being able to send out classroom and teacher information by the end of this week (August 8). In the meantime, please look out for an email with information on registering for the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. We will also continue using Parent Square to communicate, so be on the lookout for registration information if you are a new Sterling family.
We also know you may have started back to school shopping! Please find supply lists for each level linked below. Thank you for your patience and we look forward to seeing you for Open House on August 19th and for the first day of school on August 21st!
