The Richardson Montessori Academy provides a well-rounded education by addressing the academic, social, emotional, physicaland moral needs ofeachchild.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. The Richardson Montessori Academy offers a college preparatory program that is essentially different from those of most traditional 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.
