School History
Overview
For four decades, Aggieland Country School has followed the Montessori philosophy to personalize learning experinces for all the students.
All lead guides are Montessori certified, and they help nurture a child's natural curiosity through hands-on, self-directed learning in a thoughtfully prepared environment. With guidance from these trained educators, children build independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Children can start as young as 18months in the toddler room, graduate to the primary room (ages 3yrs - 6yrs) and stay to gain an impeccable education through grade 6 in the elementary room.
Allen Academy is a PK-12th grade Independent School located in Bryan, Texas, close to Texas A&M University.
At Allen, students as young as 3 and 4 years old learn along with students ready to face the intellectual challenge of university life.
The 40-acre campus creates a family-centered atmosphere where children are known by name and challenged to reach their full potential by talented, caring, and professional faculty, staff, coaches, and advisors. Allen is committed to providing a global perspective not only through an independent school curriculum, but through hands-on, intentional learning experiences.
A small, selective boarding program also brings students from across the globe to enhance an environment that values relationships, learning from each other, and preparing students for a world that promises to be increasingly unpredictable. This unique combination of intellectual rigor, learning opportunities, and deep relationships makes Allen unique within the Brazos Valley. It is also the only ISAS accredited school within a 70-mile radius.
