School Philosophy and Mission

""Achieving execellence through education"


At American Montessori Academy (AMA) our slogan doubles as our mission statement. We aspire to consistently achieve execellence though education by surpassing other more tradirional standards and by artivulating a culture where our most cherished values are respect, love hard work.

We accomplish this ideal by pairing the widelu-recongnized, highly effective philosophies of Dr.Maria Montessori with our staff of highly-trained teacjhers.

The Montessori approach to eduaction was designed by Dr,Maria Montessori, a visionary Italian anthropologist and physician who first gained fame its inception with a small group of socially disagvantaged chidren in 1907, Montessori education is now practiced on six contionents and America alone.
