“THE GREATEST DEVELOPMENT IS ACHIEVED DURING THE FIRST YEARS OF LIFE, AND THEREFORE IT IS THEN THAT THE GREATEST CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN.”
– DR. MARIA MONTESSORI
CREATING FUTURE-READY LEARNERS
As an early educational specialist, Luma Montessori nurtures the natural learner in every student. Our end goal—to fan the innate flame of learning that already exists in your child, setting him on a confident course no matter their next school.
At Luma, your child grasps the fundamentals of reading, writing, math, and science. They also learn by doing, both independently and in collaboration with peers, so lessons aren’t simply memorized, but internalized. Children are ready to apply their knowledge inside the classroom and outside, wherever that may be.
Our individualized approach and the independence gained from a classic Montessori curriculum prepare the child exceptionally well not just for pre-K, but every step thereafter.
MONTESSORI STUDENTS OUTPERFORM AT SCHOOL
Montessori students can successfully transfer into traditional school settings. In fact, Montessori students excel in traditional school settings. Research has shown that former Montessori students may achieve above average test scores in a traditional school setting.
Montessori students gain benefits like improved executive function that can help them succeed in not only in a traditional school setting but in life.
Schools across metro Atlanta—both independent and public—know that in a Montessori graduate, they’re getting a lifelong learner who will contribute meaningfully to the school community, excel academically, and be an asset in and out of the classroom.
