Join our safe, secure, and established learning environment, providing parents peace of mind and convenience while their child enjoys fun enrichment activities and optional tutoring services.
The Montessori Method fosters independence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning by emphasizing cognitive, hands-on, self-paced, and individualized education.
In a Montessori classroom, children explore at their own pace using thoughtfully designed, self-correcting materials that allow them to learn from their mistakes and develop problem-solving skills independently. These materials encourage exploration, concentration, and creativity, fostering a deep understanding of concepts rather than traditional methods of memorization.
This approach nurtures critical thinking in a collaborative environment, cultivating self-confidence and respect for others. With low student-to-teacher ratios and a focus on individualized learning, ACA has proven for over two decades how Montessori education prepares children to become future leaders who thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
