Founded in 2008, Emerging Minds Montessori Academy is located at the West Campus of First United Methodist Church.
The campus is filled with many beautiful trees and boasts a truly natural environment nestled in the heart of West Boca Raton. We are a non-religious Montessori serving children ages 2 through 8th Grade.
Our program is designed to fulfill the needs of the whole
child. We strongly follow the principals of Dr Maria
Montessori, which is based upon the philosophy that children learn
best when engaged in purposeful activity. It is our position that
every child is an individual who deserves to be respected and
honored and should be given lessons according to his/her unique
style and potential in a clean, safe, well-equipped
environment. Our teachers, staff, and families are partners in
promoting good character and values, such as kindness, compassion,
respect for all living things, as well as respect and care for the
environment. Together we are committed to helping the child
become aware of his/her responsibility and importance within the
community.It is our goal to provide every child with a strong
academic foundation, to help build a positive self-image, encourage
continued community service, and to inspire them to become self
motivated independent, life long learners.
After moving to Florida, we tried two other preschools briefly before landing at Emerging Minds Montessori Academy. It came highly recommended from a professional colleague in education whose judgement I trust. We were not disappointed! We're currently in our fifth year, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. My son started here in the toddler room and is now in 1st grade in the Lower Elementary classroom, and I have a daughter starting there this fall. The teachers are outstanding, the staff is fantastic, and the school just attracts the nicest kids and parents. They've really created something special here -- an environment that is warm, loving, fun and engaging, and filled with truly happy kids who have developed an intrinsic love for learning. It is definitely academically oriented and challenging, but it is child-led and at their own pace. Emerging Minds is the real deal as far as truly authentic Montessori (AMS member) schools go. I love that they go up to 8th grade and continue the mixed-age classroom and Montessori method of teaching.

This school is very loving and warm. It was the perfect place to send my children. My first and second graders had attended one of the most competitive private programs only to feel "my teachers do not care about me". Not here at EMMA. We truly value and appreciate the warmth of the teaching style at Emerging Minds.
