FACULTY
Darcy Piedmonte

The 2011 – 2012 calendar year marks Darcy Piedmonte’s twenty-second year with Meadow Montessori School and her nineteenth as Directress of Intermediate West.  In this time, Darcy has been able to celebrate the growth of many individuals who have passed through the doors of our school.

Darcy traveled to Bergamo, Italy in 1992 to receive AMI Montessori training.  In 2008 – 2009, Darcy completed an M.A. degree in Montessori education through St. Catherine University. 

Darcy Piedmonte began her education right here in Monroe County, attending Ida Public Schools.  From there, she went on to board at Cranbrook Kingswood for high school and then on to Carleton College where she received her B.A.  Darcy discovered a love of art and architecture, with a particular fondness for fiber arts, at Kingswood.  She carried that interest on to Carleton where she majored in Studio Art, studying painting while receiving a broad and formative liberal arts education. 

Darcy Piedmonte has been the directress of Intermediate West at MMS since 1993.  She has developed a great deal of the curriculum that is used at our school and continues to renew her dedication to teaching with each new class.  Last year, Darcy worked with high school students, teaching AP Art History.  Incorporating a love of art, scholarship, and even travel to the great sites of Italy was a teaching highlight.   

This year Darcy looks forward to watching her students and her own children pursue a love of learning at Meadow Montessori School.
