Celebrating our Families at Montessori Academy

"Children become like the things they love." ~ Dr. Maria Montessori

Two times per year, our Elementary and Junior High classrooms host a parent breakfast. The breakfast is one community activity in which we open our classrooms to our families so that they make take a glimpse into what their children are doing in the classroom.
At Montessori Academy, we pride ourselves on our ability to build strong relationships with the many wonderful families that have been a part of our school's long history. Sharing who we are and what we do is vital to bridging the gap between the school and home. If you have not had the opportunity to take part in one of our parent breakfasts, we hope you can make it the next time. To learn more about what we do at Montessori Academy, please contact Kathy Kolata at kkolata@tma-el.org.

The prairie was built to increase our student’s understanding of this special ecosystem. Working Together - Brady, Henry, Nico, & Isiah Julia, Maya, & Makiah A prairie is a unique and complex ecosystem that is made up of grasses and wildflowers with special roots systems, which allow them to survive during droughts. Their root systems also help hold the soil in place, and allow for the absorption of water when precipitation does occur. Prairies require little maintenance because they do not need fertilizers or pesticides. They also provide a habitat for rare, native animal species like birds, insects, reptiles, along with other wildlife. Unfortunately, most of the original prairies in the Michiana area have been lost to farming, continued urban sp...

Our Alums Are Awesome!

Emilee Ludwick, Montessori Academy Class of 2013 Emilee, A senior at Edwardsburg High School, came back to Room 102, to teach our Upper Elementary students the American Sign Language (ASL) alphabet.

Emilee is sister to Lynsee (Montessori Academy Class of 2014) and Blake (6th year in Room 102). We are so grateful for our wonderful alumni and all that they do for our school. Thank you, Emilee!!!
