Montessori Could be Moving to a New Location

MRM hopes to make the old Cobb School building their home for the 2018-19 school year

DULUTH, Minn. – Cobb Elementary in Woodland could soon be the new home for Many Rivers Montessori.

Many Rivers has signed a purchase agreement with Woodland Hills, which currently owns the building. The move, which the Montessori hopes to make by the fall of 2018, would triple the campus size for the school. Their current campus, which is for for grades kindergarten through eight, is spread out over two sites.

Many Rivers has seen an expansion in its population in recent years, as they expect to have 140 students by next year.

“It’s going to accommodate our growth well…it looks really promising,” said Mark Niedermier, head of school for Many Rivers Montessori.

Officials from Many Rivers hope to close the deal by the end of June.

It’s expected Woodland Hills will be moving to Rockridge Elementary by this fall, if they can get funding for the nearly $3 million in renovations needed for that project.
