Drachman Montessori Magnet K-8 School at a Glance

Drachman Logo
As Tucson Unified’s only Montessori school, Drachman offers multi-age classrooms that facilitate student collaboration and peer teaching. Our students are challenged and motivated by witnessing higher-level learning and hone their academic and leadership skills by teaching their younger peers.

This builds community and promotes high expectations of scholastic achievement, maturity, and empathy. The children benefit from an aesthetically pleasing and organized learning environment, and they proudly take an active role in maintaining it.
