About ACA

Founded in 2007, Austin Children’s Academy (ACA) is an Austin Montessori School. ACA’s goal is to provide a stimulating environment to promote natural curiosity and self-motivation utilizing the Montessori philosophy. Our children pace themselves as they learn using quality Montessori materials. Certified Montessori teachers work beside them in the role of guides and observers on this engaging journey of educating minds and bodies.

Mission Statement

Our mission at Austin Children’s Academy is to guide and encourage the natural development of the whole person in a Montessori learning community by addressing the uniqueness of each child in a nurturing, emotionally secure and academically inspiring environment.

We understand each child is special and unique in their own way. It is for these reasons that the Montessori philosophy is so successful, empowering each child and enabling them to excel in life.

Success is measured by evaluations of student performance, the results of parent-teacher conferences, and regular progress reports. ACA encourages parent involvement with regularly scheduled conferences, parent evenings, and participation in our Parent Teacher Association. We hope you and your child will join us in opening doors to the exciting world of knowledge gained through exploration.
