School Board of Directors
The Casa Esperanza Board of Directors regularly meets once a month on the dates denoted on the Board Events Calendar, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. If you would like to offer your talents or service to help build Casa Esperanza Montessori, please consider volunteering on one of the board committees. The board of directors represent the nonprofit organization established in 2000 to make a language-studies based, Montessori education available to children in the Triangle area of North Carolina through a private preschool and public elementary and middle grades charter school, which serve students ages 3-14 years. The Board of Directors is responsible for writing the Casa strategic plan to guide the growth and development of the school, including excellence in academic performance, fiscal responsibility, managed growth, community involvement and clear leadership.
