Who We Are

Welcome to Great Beginnings Montessori School, Durham Elementary Private School and Durham Academy Secondary School. We believe in partnership between the school and the family and we are committed to help each student meet their individual potential. All 3 schools offer a warm, supportive inclusive environment. Our qualified teachers deliver a high quality, enhanced curriculum that challenges each student to meet their full potential.

Our students compete in mathematical competitions offered by universities. We offer co-curricular programs from yearbook clubs, art clubs, math clubs to sports like basketball, soccer, badminton, volleyball, and floor hockey. Our teachers offer after school support and homework help daily to provide time for students to seek extra help if needed. Each student is given strong support and guidance from our guidance counselor on course selection and guidance on university applications.

We offer solid academic programs, and we enhance the learning by offering workshops and enhancements. The Principal offers tours of our schools daily. Prospective students are invited to spend the day with us where they can fully experience what we have to offer.
