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.
