Unlocking the Potential of Young Minds
Montessori Scholars Academy has a robust community of parents, students, staff, and supporters who work together with a common goal. The organization is built on our Mission, Vision & Values, a trio of statements that illustrate our commitment to Montessori education in a community environment.
Our Mission
Montessori Scholars Academy is a collaborative learning environment that provides integrated, whole-child education through the proven, authentic Montessori method.
Our Vision
Montessori Scholars Academy envisions a community of parents, educators, and administrators working together to educate the whole child, nurturing a perpetual love of learning. Through thoughtful outreach, educational programs, and commitment to the Montessori method, we partner with families as they nurture their children’s development into capable, culturally aware, empowered adults with the capacity to change the world.
Our Values
We work together to nurture the full potential of every child. We meet families where they are and invite them to become active participants in our learning community. We embrace education as a lifelong and enjoyable process for children, parents, and staff. We are a community of learners and friends, striving for harmony with one another.
Creating Confident Children
We aim to become the first choice of parents. We offer personalized courses for different age groups and envision to making the education a more fun-filled experience. We try our best to provide a competitive environment in which your children can learn and grow in a better way. Our administration is firmly committed to the success of each child, in a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment. The commitment translates into continuous training to acquire new skills or perfect existing ones. We pay special attention to the personal grooming of students and make efforts to raise their confidence level and self-esteem so that they can become responsible citizens.
MSA has a very dedicated and highly experienced staff that works their level best to handle the kids efficiently and provides them an improved educational journey. Special activities are designed for each grade kids in order to provide them a personalized learning experience.
Fostering Creativity and Independence
Montessori Scholars Academy is a private school that follows the Montessori method of education. The Montessori method was developed by Maria Montessori and is focused on fostering independence, self-motivation, and a love of learning in children.
Montessori Scholars Academy (MSA) is dedicated to the highest standards of pedagogical practices for your children. Our school focuses on teaching your child the skills necessary to succeed in the technologically ever-changing world we live in. We have obtained SACS Advanced accreditation, which helps demonstrate our dedication to the advancement of your children in our educational program.
Montessori Scholars Academy Philosophy
We seek to consistently serve children in a safe and nurturing educational environment by challenging and inspiring their individual quest for knowledge and skill, and by empowering the development of their self-discipline and self-confidence.
Research demonstrates that the period of life between birth and age six is the most influential in defining a child’s personality and ability to learn. During this period of time, life-long patterns are established, and the skills acquired become the foundation that will be the basis for their future independence. Dr. Montessori calls this attribute of a child the "absorbent mind".
The primary classrooms are divided into four areas of learning, which are: practical life, sensory, language, and mathematics.
Montessori Curriculum
At Montessori Scholars Academy we follow the Montessori Method created by Dr. Maria Montessori over 100 years ago. Her method and curriculum has stood the test of time. Over the years, parts of this model have been adopted by mainstream early learning centers. We believe that Dr. Montessori’s method of presenting the curriculum fosters independence, critical thinking, self confidence, and above all, a lifelong love of learning. Each of our classrooms has authentic Montessori materials with Montessori credentialed Lead Guides. The Lead Guide guides the child through the areas of the classroom at their own pace. The Guide has the wonderful freedom to observe what the child is or children are interested in learning and create lessons for the classroom specific to this topic. This freedom keeps the children interested in learning new information throughout the academic year. Montessori Scholars Academy is dedicated to the highest standards of pedagogical practice for your child. We believe the skills your child learns here will aid them in succeeding in the world today.
Where Little Minds Thrive
Montessori Scholars Academy believes in fostering independent, self-motivated learners. Through the Montessori method, children engage in hands-on activities that develop critical thinking and creativity. At Montessori Scholars Academy, we emphasize individualized learning, helping each student progress at their own pace. The principles of Montessori guide the day to day operations at Montessori Scholars Academy, ensuring a nurturing environment that supports lifelong learning. With the Montessori curriculum as the foundation, Montessori Scholars Academy is committed to empowering students for success.
Leaders of Learning: Montessori Educators
All of the Montessori Scholars Academy Lead Guides hold a Montessori credential in their respective areas of expertise. In order to obtain this credential, the teachers must attend and successfully complete the entire training program offered at designated training centers for their specific level (e.g., nido, toddler, primary, elementary). The Guide must also complete a practicum. The Montessori Lead Guides and teachers work hard to foster independent, self-motivated learners. The prepared environment created by the Montessori Leads engage hands-on activities that develop critical thinking and creativity in your child. Our faculty emphasize individualized learning, helping each student progress at their own pace. With Montessori teachers as the foundation, Montessori Scholars Academy is committed to empowering students for success.

Montessori Scholars Academy (MSA) is a Montessori educational facility in Milton that is dedicated to the highest standards of pedagogical practices for your child. Our school focuses on teaching your child the skills necessary to succeed in the ever-changing technological world we live in. MSA has obtained Georgia Bright form the Start Quality Rated & Georgia Accrediting Commission accreditation, which helps demonstrate our dedication to the advancement of your child in our educational program.
The Importance of Family
Our school stresses the importance of the family-teacher partnership. Family members are invited to participate in the classrooms through a variety of ways: reading, cooking, classroom projects or participation in “going-outs”.
Official Parent-Teacher conferences are scheduled twice a year to discuss children’s progress, and individual meetings can be scheduled at the request of the family or the teacher.
MSA has set as a goal the education of the families it serves regarding their child’s Montessori educational experience. It is crucial for the family to understand the underlying values that the child is acquiring at school, in order to support his growth. We achieve this through Educational Nights which are scheduled throughout the academic year to discuss topics ranging from the principles being taught, the areas of the classroom and its purposes, discipline approach and socialization.
In depth training for families is also another goal of MSA, and this is done in sessions offered to families twice a year that are called “Silent Journeys”. These sessions offer an opportunity for parents or other adult caretakers to experience Montessori in-depth, and support from home the work that the school is doing with the children during the school year.
We Believe That Kids Are Born With a Quest for Learning
All of Montessori Scholars Academy’s Lead Guides and Teachers are certified. To obtain this certification, the teachers must attend and successfully complete the entire training program offered at designated training centers for their specific level (e.g. Primary). The teachers must also complete a practicum and work as assistants in the appropriate classrooms before becoming a Lead teacher. All of our teachers are First Aid and CPR certified and must complete 18 continuing education hours yearly.

What Our Clients Say
The teachers do a fantastic job with teaching the students academics as well as accomplishing objectives independently. We are amazed at how calm the atmosphere always is in the classroom, and how productive the students are on their own.
Jon Levine
Parent
The prepared Montessori environment challenges and inspires our children to think critically, to be independent, to research and find the answers on their own, to be creative and to express their individuality. Children in their class are respectful and sociable, they love each other, and all of them display high self-esteem. For me, the positive development of their personalities is as important as their academic advancement.

Parent
Great School! We’ve been on this school since it was opened. They have fully equipped classes, good teachers who love our kids and what they are doing. The facility is extremely clean. They have a lot of activities to involve parents to their kids lives. I have only one son and I want him to have everything the best!
Maria Shkolnik
Parent
My son is in the Elementary program at Montessori Scholars and, academically, he is studying material that is at least one or two grade-levels above the standard curriculum offered by private and public schools. The teachers have the best Montessori training and are AMI certified. Parental involvement is high, and the results are reflected in the quality of the school. They also offer many enrichment programs after school, as well as before and after care, which offers a complete solution for many families.
Giovanna Serrano
Parent
The director is deeply devoted in providing a Montessori learning environment and making sure that her teachers and aides provide quality care and challenging curriculums to the children. The moment you walk in the school and you will find the children well behaved and learning. When we pick up our children, as well as the other parents, you will find the children run up to the parents, and most often go right back to finishing their work, or hearing the story that is being read, and picking up their work stations before they leave. This is a great sign that a child is happy-when they don’t want to leave. I would recommend Montessori Scholars in a heartbeat to any parent.

Parent
We moved to the Alpharetta area within the last year and evaluated several schools in the area. After meeting and touring MSA we selected it among 5 other schools. The defining factors were the professionalism of the staff and its diversity. Since our — now 2 yrs old — son started attending we have not only noticed several positive behavioral changes but have also been provided with the tools and knowledge to be better parents. The care provided by the staff is unparalleled and the amount of love & compassion never ceases to amaze. I would highly recommend this school to any parents looking for an above-average experience for your kids.
