Welcome!

Montessori Academy serves families with children 18 months of age through 8th grade.

Montessori Academy developed lifelong learners before the phrase became popular in educational circles. It is the only school in Middle Tennessee that holds dual accreditation with the American Montessori Society (AMS) and AdvancEd (see links below for more information about our re-accreditation). The rigorous standards set by both accrediting organizations keep the focus on a commitment to academic excellence and continuous improvement.

This unique, diverse community offers an unexpected and astonishing alternative to traditional education in the Middle Tennessee area. We invite you to come, tour, and learn about this caring community of academic excellence as the first step in the admission process. Please contact Ms. Cathi Boswell  or call 615-833-3610 to schedule a tour today!

Outcomes for Students in a Montessori Program...

"Montessori programs have grown considerably over the past decades. There have been two major facets to this growth: expansion from private to public settings and extension from preschool into elementary, junior high school, and beyond. Growth has brought concerns about outcomes, especially academic ones. In particular, there have been questions about the performance of Montessori students when they move on to move conventional academic settings. This research addresses these questions." from an article written by Kathryn Rindskopf Dohrmann for members of AMI/USA, May 2003.
