General Info

Athens Montessori offers a unique foundation that inspires a life-long love for learning. It celebrates and encourages the different learning styles and individual interests of each child while strengthening their confidence and academic excellence. Athens Montessori School is proud to have offered this alternative education to the Athens community for over 40 years. We provide guided self-learning in a creative, child-centered environment designed to unlock a joyful attitude toward learning. Our programs are designed to shape minds and enrich lives through a child-centered, hands-on curriculum that encourages children to create, explore, and discover at their own pace. By empowering children to learn through direct experience, we spark curiosity and unlock a sense of wonder that leads to a life-long love of learning. Montessori education is spontaneous, =stimulating, and it strengthens academic excellence, self-confidence, and practical life skills.
