Welcome to Village Montessori School!

We have been serving families and children in Fulton, Cobb, and Cherokee counties providing high quality Montessori education since 1995. We have been AMI (Association of Montessori Internationale) recognized through primary to upper elementary. We offer Assistant to Infancy program (18 months to 2 1/2 years), Primary program (2 1/2 to 6 years), Lower Elementary (6 to 9 years), Upper Elementary (9 to 12 years, and Middle school program (12 to 14 years).
Montessori philosophy is based on the work of Maria Montessori who was the first female physician in Italy. Each classroom is a lively and supportive learning environment that meets unique and growing developmental needs of each child. Age-mixed classrooms provide plenty of opportunities for the children to help others and learn from each other. The children learn by initiating and repeating activities followed by individual or group lessons given by teachers. All the teachers through toddler to upper elementary have training from the most authentic Montessori organization, AMI. Fostering independence, hands-on learning, and creating a sense of community, are some of the hallmarks of Montessori education. At Village Montessori school, we strive to build peaceful and respectful school community and to prepare each child for the future, as Maria Montessori said, “Education should be an aid to life.” I hope you will visit our beautiful campus and see the children working in carefully prepared classrooms.

Montessori Guides Children to a Lifelong Love of LearningMontessori education is named for the Italian physician, Maria Montessori, who formulated the educational theory and method based on scientific research and keen observation of the child. It is recognized and practiced worldwide as the hallmark in preschool education.
Dr. Montessori designed an extensive assortment of concrete multi-sensory materials with which to implement her program. She first employed her program (often referred to as the Montessori Method) in the slums of Rome in 1907, where she won worldwide acclaim for her extraordinary accomplishments. She later developed an extensive training program for teachers which demonstrated the use of her materials and related that use to the child’s development. She stressed a full and deep understanding of the developmental process of the whole child and how development interacts with the environment. |
