Montessori Academy will guide children on their journey into a continually evolving, dynamic world that engages their minds and enlivens their imaginations. Each component of the educational journey will instill a love of learning, high self-esteem, and positive values, resulting in high academic achievement. 

We use the principles of Maria Montessori as the foundation of our educational philosophy in a manner that fosters and elicits learning. We create evolving environments, making each day a productive step in the journey to the ultimate goal: a child who is motivated, independent, and has a love of learning. 

To unfold life is the basic task of the educator. Montessori Academy is a prepared environment for children. In Maria Montessori's time, 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 elementary, senior elementary, and middle school children. 

Integrity

We maintain the highest level of individual and organizational integrity and are committed to doing what is right for the Montessori Academy community. Our decisions are driven by our vision and mission and guided by data to support the best outcomes for the students and stakeholders we serve. We strive to provide resources and support that are relevant and intentionally focused on our strategic plan. All business is conducted in an ethical and professional manner, with the goal of being the best possible community partner.

Leadership

We are passionate about the work inspired by our mission and dedicated to the students we serve. We foster a strong work ethic to deliver innovative resources to educators and students. As leaders in the community, we serve as a catalyst for forward-thinking programs and educational progress.

Student Achievement

We are committed to student achievement and maintain a student-centered approach that enhances our culture of teaching and learning. Montessori Academy guarantees that every student will meet state standards in reading, math, and writing—or demonstrate one year’s growth on the state-mandated assessment—in accordance with the Student-Parent-School Compact.

Spirit of Community

Strong community relationships and partnerships are essential to fulfilling our mission. We approach all endeavors with collaboration, seeking innovation and fostering teamwork.

Stewardship

As stewards of the community’s trust, we are accountable in both action and attitude for the resources entrusted to us. We earn goodwill by taking thoughtful, emotional, and fiscal care of these assets. Our decisions are guided by financial responsibility and long-term sustainability.
