EXETER – The Quest Montessori School announced Monday it has been awarded $2.5 million in low-interest federal financing to jump start construction of a new, permanent facility in Narragansett.
The new facility will accommodate about 200 students from preschool through grade 7 and be built on a seven-acre wooded property on Dean Knauss Drive. The school said the financing from the U.S. Department of Aquiculture will comprise 90 percent of the project’s expected cost of $2.75 million. The new facility is expected to open in September 2010.

The seven-year-old, non-denominational, nonprofit Quest Montessori School currently leases a facility in Exeter. The school said it has outgrown its current space and has spent the past three years searching for a new location. The school said its new location offers enough space and convenient access off Route 1.
The funding came from the economic stimulus law signed by President Barack Obama last February.
