Welcome to Montessori Academy!
Located just south of Nashville in Brentwood, Tennessee, Montessori Academy is one of the largest accredited Montessori schools in the nation, providing Montessori education for children ages 18 months through High School. Montessori Academy and our satellite school in Clarksville, Amare Montessori, are the only schools in Middle Tennessee accredited by the American Montessori Society (AMS), the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (COGNIA) and the International Montessori Council (IMC).
An education for life
We are passionate about cultivating children’s love of learning.
Our curriculum prepares students for life. We nurture intelligence, curiosity, and imagination while supporting and developing each student’s unique talents.
Our school teaches universal values, helps students gain a global perspective, and encourages responsible citizenship. Our goal is to graduate young people who balance their knowledge and character: who are lifelong learners, critical thinkers, and active leaders in their local community, their country, and the world.
Growth in community
Multi-age classrooms provide dynamic learning communities at each level. Engaged teachers, staff, administrators, and families create a welcoming and warm environment for each child to grow. Our community is large enough to offer many opportunities, yet small enough for each child to be known.
Strong foundations
A sense of order, independence, coordination, and concentration. These foundations set the course for academic skills and knowledge. Expert teachers engage students with our curriculum in concrete and hands-on ways, tailoring instruction to the development of the child.
