Our Mission
  The Richardson Montessori Academy provides a well-rounded education by addressing the academic, social, emotional, physical and moral needs of each child. We continually encourage intellectual curiosity and self-confidence thereby preparing our students for future educational and life experiences and for their effective roles in the world.

Our Vision
  The Richardson Montessori Academy offers a college preparatory program that is essentially different from those of most tradition schools.  There is a clear connection between one's sense of self, of being fully alive and open to new ideas and experiences, and ability to learn.  Teaching is not something that one can do to another.  We can only facilitate the natural process of learning.

Montessori Philosophy
  Montessori is one of the fastest growing and most popular educational methods in the country. It was begun in Italy in the early part of the last century by Dr. Maria Montessori, a doctor and educator who achieved remarkable results with children by designing an educational program based on the innate desire of a child to learn. The basic philosophy of a Montessori Education is that all children carry within themselves the person they will become. In order to develop, physical, intellectual and spiritual potential, the child must have freedom: a freedom that is achieved through order and self-discipline.

Montessori Environment
  Children are provided with hands-on materials that enable them to learn math, language, science, and history, while at the same time, developing intellectual curiosity, self-respect, and respect for the world around them. Instructors give small group lessons or one-on-one lessons, and they monitor the children's progress as they complete projects at their own pace.

Montessori graduates are self-directed, motivated learners who are notable for the continuing excitement they find in learning.
