Quotes about MA"Our daughter has been at the school since just after turning 3 years old and just graduated from kindergarten. Wow, it was so wonderful to see her in the 'K' year acting like a 'senior.' That's the leadership and mentoring advantage at Montessori Academy. We can't wait for what the coming years bring!" Chris McKinney, current parent "I transferred between public schools and Montessori Academy throughout my entire life. If anyone is able to compare and contrast, I am the one. Although both forms of schooling were helpful to me, I can attest to Montessori being better. When I had issues I was helped thoroughly, because of the relationships I had with my teachers. Montessori teachers didn't take it easy on me, in fact, the hardest projects I ever faced were in their high school. I just had all the resources I needed to meet my requirements. I can't thank the Montessori staff more for what they have done for me. Now, at the age of 20, I am starting my own corporation, and I would like to attribute my sense of dedication and research abilities to my past experiences at Montessori Academy. Thank you Montessori!" Brandon Howard, current MTSU student |
