Why Choose a Montessori Program?
The Right Guides
Each of our Montessori-trained guides have studied both Montessori School philosophy and curriculum, and all Lead Pre-Primary, Primary, Elementary and Middle School guides are MACTE (Montessori Accreditation for Teacher Education) certified.
Enriched Education
In all grade levels children follow an enhanced Montessori Curriculum including Language, Cultures/History, Mathematics, Education, Geometry, Geography, Botany, Zoology, Science, Practical Life, Arts, Music, Foreign Language, Computer Literacy, World, Environmental, Peace Education, Physical Education.
Community Building
We strive to facilitate the guide’s concentration on the individual rather than grade norms. This process allows for a consistent environment and guide student relationship over a 3-year period. Our school provides and encourage a sense of community. And we foster the development of a family spirit in the classroom.
Be Part of Our Community
Our students and their families are the very fabric of our school and we cherish our partnership with them. Family members are invited to participate in the classrooms in a variety of ways: reading, cooking, classroom projects and/or participation in field trips.
Accreditation
We are accredited by the American Montessori Society (AMS) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS). These accreditations are critically important as they confirm having undergone rigorous accreditation processes. There are only two other schools in north Georgia that have received such an honor. Additionally, our school is licensed by Bright from the Start, Georgia’s department of early care and learning. Our commitment to accreditation and licensing assures parents and the community that we are focused on accelerated student achievement, providing a safe and enriching learning environment, and maintaining an efficient and effective operation.
