Giving Students the Best, So They Can Be Their Best

Authentic Montessori Academy provides an enriched environment in which children are inspired to reach their highest potential. The Montessori philosophies foster a strong sense of community and respect for self, others, and the environment, which builds a strong academic foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Our goals at Authentic Montessori Academy include:

Independence with responsibility – Children thrive with pride in their competence as they learn to work independently and responsibly put their work back when finished and care for their school environment

Concentration –The child’s attention span develops as they learn to focus, fostering good study habits later.

Coordination – Attractive, fun exercises that strengthen your child’s hand for writing and train the eye for reading are provided.

Order – Our environment is based on order. Order leads to logical thinking for future math concepts, problem-solving, and decision making.

Socialization – We provide a natural environment encouraging children to meet, interact, and make friends, with guidance when needed.

Academic Growth – Academics are offered at an early age, with fun lessons. They enjoy learning with the beautiful and well-devised, hands-on Montessori materials. Concentration and focus are respected and encouraged.

Emotional maturation – Our goal is that your child will develop a positive self-concept, competence with social and language skills, and a love of learning.

Self-Control – Children work on developing their inner discipline and how to become responsible for their actions.

Our Mission

Children are rich in potential and eager to learn. We recognize children as the unique, competent, capable and curious individuals that they are. The child’s social and emotional development along with academic development and Peace Education are the focal point of our program.

What are the basic elements of the Montessori Curriculum?

Respect for the child: Children at a young age have great intellectual needs and capacity.

Independence and responsibility: They choose activities and learn to finish the work cycle by returning them when finished ready for the next person. This is a solid base for study skills and lifelong good habits.

“Hands-on” education: Children learn by doing, using real tools rather than pretending for example: learning to really sweep with a child-sized broom that works, instead of pretending to sweep.

Montessori training requires a two-year curriculum including intensive class work, internship, and finals.

Multi-age classroom benefits all ages with confidence, inspiration, nurturing, and responsibility.

“Prepared Environment” enables children’s independence; the classroom is set up with the needs of each child  in mind. Freedom within limits offers age-appropriate opportunities for critical thinking.

Learning manners: “Grace and Courtesy” are part of the curriculum. Respect for each other, the teachers, the materials, and the environment is part of the Montessori Curriculum

Academics are offered at an early age, with fun lessons. They enjoy learning with the beautiful and well-devised, hands-on Montessori materials. Concentration and focus are respected and encouraged.

With free choice of individual work jobs, the children always have their hands busy and the teacher is available to guide them and give individual and small group lessons.

Love for school, respect, and learning is fostered with beautiful reality-based themes such as geography with beautiful puzzle maps, and awareness of nature, science, language, literature, art, music, outdoor play, and social skills, etiquette and languages.
