Maximilian Montessori Academy is a private school, founded in 1988 and serving Owensboro and the surrounding area.
We educate children from pre-school through the completion of the high school years.
Our school is pleased to be an outstanding source of schooling for local families and gladly shares in the goal of all schools: to provide children with the best education we possibly can.
We offer a small, carefully designed environment, which provides some features that cannot conveniently be offered in the more traditional settings.
