Description

From its modest beginnings in 1967, Austin Montessori School has grown, under the direction of founder Donna Bryant Goertz, to be a thriving community of children, parents, faculty, and staff on three Austin campuses. Austin Montessori is internationally known in Montessori circles as an exemplary school, and it regularly hosts teachers-in-training and other Montessori professionals who come to observe or to attend workshops. Austin Montessori School is the oldest and largest Austin area school recognized by AMI. (AMI is the educational association founded by Maria Montessori and the only one endorsed by her.) The faculty includes 20 AMI-trained professionals, and all 4 of the full time instructors at our Adolescent Community have completed the NAMTA Adolescent Orientation. The school strongly invests in their continuing education and personal development. This long-term commitment to staff development enriches the children's experience in the classroom and contributes to an exceptionally low faculty turnover. In addition to AMI Montessori training credentials, guides in the Upper Elementary and Adolescent Community hold advanced degrees in disciplines ranging from anthropology to classics to computer science. Austin Montessori provides an integrated, inclusive, highly personalized educational environment for children from 18 months to 15 years old. Individual classes are specially designed to meet the developmental needs of the age range they serve. The mission of Austin Montessori School is to guide the intellectual and character development of each child along a path towards his full and unknown potential. We strive to cultivate compassion and respect, independence and belonging, and freedom and self-discipline, in rich academic and social environments that are designed for each plane of development and honor the complementary needs of the individual and the group. We value an educational setting that is inclusive and recognizes the authentic nature of the child and nurtures a reverence for the organic order of the universe. Through parent and staff education, we work to develop a school and family culture that preserves and protects a healthy childhood. Our aim is to serve children possessing an ample range of temperaments and a variety of learning styles and rates. At the same time we seek to avoid pathologizing and labeling the normal range of children’s behaviors and differences in learning. We are dedicated to Montessori’s mission of world peace through human development.
