Our Mission:

To develop true scholars, life-long learners, and productive citizens of the world in a diverse atmosphere that incorporates Montessori principles where students demonstrate respect and love for self, others, and their environment.

Our History:

Phoenix Montessori Academy is an independent, non-profit school, educating students from ages 18 months to 18 years (toddlers through 12th grade). Our school was established June 19, 2004 and the first class was held on September 7, 2004. The school was founded by a group of concerned parents and a seasoned teacher, all committed to creating a loving and nurturing environment where the well being and development of the child is paramount.

"Our aim is not merely to make the child understand, and still less to force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse him to his innermost core."
Maria Montessori

Hot Lunch Program

WT Cafe (Wholesome Tummies) has partnered with Phoenix Montessori Academy to provide parents with an alternative to packing a lunch every day.

Wholesome Tummies mission is to make fresh, delicious, and exciting foods available to every child, everywhere.
In terms of kids and the foods they eat, North American society seems to have gotten off track somewhere. Childhood obesity rates have skyrocketed, and the incidence of type 2 diabetes in our youth is higher than ever before. Blame the media, the fast-food industry, the hectic pace of today's world - it doesn't matter. The fact is, the time for change is now.
