Mixed-Age Classrooms Boost Leadership Skills

Authentic Montessori schools group classes with a 3-year age span, so your child benefits from unique social development. Younger classmates look up to their elders, and older children develop responsibility as proud role modeling. Everyone has something to contribute.

Child-Led, Immersive Learning Leads To Independence

The Montessori philosophy centers the child and empowers them to choose their daily activities according to their interests. This world-renowned Montessori education method gives your child time and space to concentrate and develop at their own pace, for unique benefits:

Unique Montessori Materials Support Problem-Solving Skills

Scientifically proven, authentic Montessori materials—like Bead Chains, The Pink Tower, and Tone Bars—are an essential part of Montessori education. Your child teaches themself through trial and error, learning to think critically and apply different strategies until they master the activity, ready for the next one.

Social-Emotional Learning Prepares Them For Life

At Montessori Academy of Jackson, we use the Montessori Method to emphasize social-emotional learning to develop your child’s crucial executive functioning, emotional regulation, and problem-solving skills in age-appropriate and highly effective ways:

Ancient cultures, fine arts, ecology, inclusiveness, astronomy and so many more areas are integrated. The boys talk about things that I didn’t hear about until much later in my education. The parents are actively involved with each other as well. I am glad they are able to have this immersive experience.
