The Montessori Academy of Chicago offers programming for children 6-weeks-old through 8th grade, and has been serving families in the West Loop neighborhood in Chicago since 2007. Starting with just four classrooms, we have grown and developed every year since our founding. The Academy is committed to excellence in all its curricular and extracurricular offerings, and takes pride in the dynamic parent community we've cultivated over the years. The Academy's organizational purpose is to provide a nurturing, authentic Montessori education and parent community, enriching the lives of Chicago's modern families and students. Our commitment to an authentic Montessori approach, coupled with innovative ancillary programming, stands as a wholly unique learning institution. Our students thrive while receiving all the benefits of the Montessori tradition evidence-based approaches to student support and enrichment curricula. We represent something different - a 21st approach that ensures our school is an extension of the home, our parents have peace of mind, and our students grow to be responsible and self-assured global citizens prepared to lead in the modern world.
