Our Vision
Montessori Academy provides a scholarly, healthy, innovative
environment that supports a community dedicated to excellence,
independence and enthusiasm for life-long learning.
Our Mission
We nurture and challenge the whole person to balance
academic excellence, personal integrity, environmental
awareness and global responsibility.
We embrace the core Montessori philosophy through the
use of multi-age classrooms, authentic Montessori
materials and a Montessori-trained faculty.
We augment our program with Outdoor Environments, an
agriculture curriculum, Honor Council, special education,
a full “virtues curriculum” and gifted children’s programs.
Our Method
To unfold life is the basic task of the educator.
Montessori Academy is a prepared environment for
children. In Maria Montessori’s day it seemed
miraculous that children of four and a half should
be able to write, and that they should have learned
without the feeling of having been taught.
The teacher’s task is not to talk, but to prepare and
arrange a series of activities in the environment
made for the child. Maria Montessori found that
individual activity is the one factor that stimulates
and produces development, and that this is not truer
for the little ones of preschool age than it is for the
junior, senior and middle school children.
