School Notes
The Montessori Academy of Chicago boasts the traditional Montessori
Method with the belief that cognitive development is the product of
interaction between the individual and the environment. We have a
uniquely designed, activity based learning environment structured
to meet your child's needs. We recognize that children learn and
adapt differently and stress the importance of adapting the
curriculum to a child’s developmental level. Our goal is to spark a
child’s interest in learning, thereby helping them to become
life-long learners. The academy strives to assist children in
personal development, as well as educational development. We
strongly believe that the community of the child, parent, and
educator is the foundation of the school’s success.
