Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment, unifying academic challenge with quality opportunities for social, emotional, and intellectual growth. This includes a multicultural emphasis that values individuality and attainment of each child’s fullest potential. With the Montessori philosophy as our foundation, we guide development of responsibility and respect by cultivating independent thinking, self-awareness, cooperation, and inner discipline.
"We thank you for preparing our daughter so well for high school. The study habits, organizational skills and love of learning that she developed at DHMC are all shining through and leading her to do great work."

"I graduated from DHMC in 2009 and went on to Mercy High School, then received my Bachelors in telecommunications and information management from Western Michigan University...I worked in this field for a few years and realized that my heart wasn't into it, so I'm working toward becoming a registered nurse. A friend of mine and I often comment on how much we appreciate our time attending DHMC, and how we truly wouldn't be who we are today without those years. We were lucky enough to grow up in a diverse and respectful environment - something we both agree has helped us grow into well-rounded adults."
