Description: Morganton Day School, previously known as The Children’s School, has made a commitment, reaffirmed daily, to be an institution of learning. The School is dedicated to a philosophy of experiential education, parental involvement, and a concern for the uniqueness of the individual as a member of a global community. Exceptional academic goals are met without compromising the child’s spirit, human dignity, or self esteem. The interrelated curriculum encompasses math, science, social studies, communication skills including language arts and computer skills, visual and dramatic arts, foreign language, music, and physical education. Founded in 1978, Morganton Day School (MDS) serves children from Junior Kindergarten to Eighth Grade. With very low teacher to student ratios and a dedication to our students' success, MDS gives your child the individualized attention to help them achieve their maximum potential.
