How do you compare with a "traditional" school?

Montessori Academy is accredited by the American Montessori Society.  Our academy teaches the same basic skills as traditional schools, and offer a rigorous academic program including math, science, history, geography, and language – but they are presented through an integrated approach that brings separate strands of the curriculum together.

Do students take standardized tests?

Our academy administers standardized exams, particularly if they will be required by schools into which their students may transition.  More information may be given during a scheduled tour and observation.
