Students

The Montessori Academy of Chicago welcomes students from six weeks through twelve years of age.

Review a break-out of our academic programs here.

Students are unique individuals and deserve respect. Every classroom in our school is led by a Montessori-trained and certified head teacher, two assistant teachers, and maintains a strict student-teacher ratio to ensure each student receives individualized instruction.

In the Montessori classroom – at any level – the child experiences an orderly environment containing a variety of concrete activities, which in many cases, are self-correcting. The activities progress steadily from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract. Learning is reinforced internally through comprehension and feelings of success.

Our classrooms are grouped in three-year cycles (with the exception of our Infant and Toddler programs). Collaboration among age levels is integral to reinforcing leadership skills and encourages mentoring.

Our mission is to develop the whole personality of the child with love, respect and independence, providing them with the tools to make their own decisions in a caring and structured environment.
