We are a network of independent Montessori schools that offers year-round, all-day programs based upon the Montessori Method in stimulating learning facilities, located in South Loop and Uptown—Andersonville, and affiliate schools on the North Shore.
Our main objectives are to provide a carefully planned, stimulating environment which helps children develop within themselves the foundational habits, attitudes, skills and ideas which are essential for a lifetime of creative thinking and learning. When engaged in well-structured tasks, the students experience a deep inner satisfaction which leaves them with an overall positive attitude toward the joy of learning.
American Montessori Academy fosters an enriching, nurturing and diverse education environment where each child is encouraged to grow to his or her fullest academic, social, emotional, spiritual and intellectual potential.
Credentialed Montessori teachers and educators have the skills to implement a high-fidelity Montessori experience.
Classrooms with multi-age communities facilitate mentorship among the students and encourage leadership development.
Specially designed materials that children are naturally drawn to work with provide a hands-on approach to learning.
Students are encouraged to self-select work, leading to a sustained attention span and positive attitude towards the joy of learning.
At American Montessori Academy, we provide a foundation for academic and personal excellence and encourage the love of learning inherent in every child through participation and engagement.

Montessori students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly. The Montessori Curriculum is an integrated, thematic approach that ties the separate disciplines together into studies of the physical universe, the world of nature and the human experience.
