Welcome to Casa Esperanza Montessori Charter School!

Montessori Learning in a Small School Environment
Casa Esperanza Montessori Charter School is a unique, tuition-free, public K-8 charter school that embraces the Montessori Philosophy to teach the NC standard curriculum. We offer two separate programs with a different approach to learning the Spanish language: the Immersion Program and the Enrichment Program. Founded in 2003, it is among one of the first public charter schools in NC.
Casa boasts students from 39 nationalities. The diversity of both the staff and families provides our students with an authentic cultural experience. Our new learning center and campus in Wake Forest, North Carolina provides our students and staff with an amazing environment to learn and grow.
