About Towles
We are a community dedicated to empowering students to become responsible, global learners. Through a unique blend of Montessori and New Tech philosophies, we foster a nurturing environment that cultivates curiosity, creativity and critical thinking. We trust in the potential of each child and respect their individual learning journey. Our commitment to the whole child ensures the development of academic, social and emotional skills. We inspire the transformation of learners into confident, compassionate and innovative individuals prepared to thrive in an ever-changing world.
At our school, we offer two distinctive yet complementary educational programs: the Montessori Elementary program and Towles New Tech Middle School.
Our first floor is dedicated to grades 1-5, where students engage with the Montessori curriculum. This approach encourages self-directed learning, hands-on exploration and independent thinking while also incorporating mainstream elementary education standards. By blending Montessori values with conventional academic subjects, we create an environment where children can develop both their critical thinking skills and a love for learning.
On the second floor, our New Tech Network Curriculum serves grades 6-8. This project-based learning model emphasizes collaboration, creativity and real-world problem-solving. Students work together on interdisciplinary projects, fostering teamwork and building essential skills for success in high school and beyond.
Together, these two programs create a unique and enriching learning experience. We provide a smooth transition from the Montessori approach to the more structured project-based learning of New Tech, ensuring that each child develops the skills they need at every stage of their educational journey.
Feeder Pattern: Connection, Collaboration, Community
Towles Intermediate is a Magnet School. To attend this school, students must apply through the School Choice Lottery. The process is different from the neighborhood schools within FWCS, which assign students based on their residential addresses. Once a student is admitted to Towles, they have a guaranteed graduation pathway continuing on to Towles New Tech, all the way up to high school graduation at New Tech Academy at Wayne High School. Students stemming from Bunche Montessori are also offered the same pathway as well with an automatic acceptance to Towles.
