Early Childhood - Outdoor Classroom What a wonderful moment! Observing and interacting with nature offers children invaluable opportunities for growth and self-control. When a child gently holds a butterfly on their finger, they learn patience and mindfulness, as they must remain calm and still to avoid startling the delicate insect. This interaction fosters a deep sense of wonder and respect for living things, enhancing their emotional intelligence and empathy. Additionally, such experiences can spark curiosity and a lifelong love for nature, encouraging children to explore and learn about the world around them. These moments of connection with nature are not only magical but also foundational for personal development and well-being. #nature #outdoorclassroom #selfcontrol #patience #mindfulness #respect #emotionalintelligence #empathy #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

About us
Fully AMS accredited Montessori private school in Arlington TX. See our amazing indoor & outdoor environments by scheduling a visit. NONTRADITIONAL LEARNING Children thrive in both our indoor and outdoor classrooms where curiosity about the world drives them to learn. We provide professional guidance, the prepared environment, and scientifically developed materials for children to live up to their full potential. LEARNING HAPPENS THROUGH PURPOSEFUL ACTIVITY Children work with specially designed learning materials, manipulating and investigating them to master the lessons they embody. ABSTRACT IDEAS IN CONCRETE FORM Children use real objects to translate abstract ideas into concrete form. For example, the binomial cube material physically represents a mathematical equation, which is (a + b)³ = (a + b) (a + b) (a + b) = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³. OUTDOOR LEARNING PRIORITIZED Safety is our highest priority and we are lucky to have a 13-acre campus which provides students with many opportunities to work outside. Each classroom also has an exterior door, so when it’s too hot or cold outside, students can move into a well-ventilated indoor space. COMMITTED PROFESSIONALS Our committed and credentialed professionals foster a child’s cognitive, physical, and social/emotional well-being, leading children to become enthusiastic, intrinsically motivated learners.

Lower Elementary - Care of Animals Our goats and chickens have so many loving hands helping to take care of them! Caring for animals offers numerous benefits including independence, compassion, and a deeper connection to the natural world. It fosters a sense of responsibility and empathy as children learn to meet the needs of living creatures. This hands-on experience enhances their understanding of biology and life cycles, making abstract concepts more tangible. Additionally, interacting with animals can reduce stress and improve social skills, as students work together to care classroom and outdoor animals. #careofanimals #nature #independence #compassion #responsibility #empathy #socialskills #biology #lifecycle #concretetoabstract #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

Early Childhood - Olfactory Experiences What's that smell? Well, its nutmeg of course! Olfactory activities enhance sensory development by refining the sense of smell and boost cognitive skills through identifying and categorizing different scents. These activities also support language development as children describe and discuss their sensory experiences, and they aid in emotional regulation by evoking positive emotions. Additionally, olfactory sorting introduces children to diverse cultural scents, fostering cultural awareness, and helps develop fine motor skills through careful handling of materials. #olfactorysense #cognitiveskills #languagedevelopment #culturalawareness #handsonlearning #experientiallearning #sensorial #order #concentration #coordination #independence #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

Early Childhood - Colored Bead Stair Addition Look at that focus! The Colored Bead Stair is a quintessential Montessori material which enables young children to learn addition. It combines visual and tactile learning, allowing children to see and feel each bead, which makes abstract concepts more concrete. Each number is represented by a specific color, aiding in memory and engagement. Handling the small beads also improves fine motor skills and coordination. Additionally, this material lays a strong foundation for understanding more complex math concepts including basic operations, square roots and cubes, and complex algebraic equations. #concretetoabstract #mathisfun #visuallearning #tactilelearning #memory #finemotorskills #order #concentration #coordination #independence #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

Elementary - Reading Partners This Lower Elementary student is enjoying being read to by an Upper Elementary student during reading partner time. Reading with a partner creates a nurturing and collaborative learning environment that benefits both the mentor and the mentee. These interactions enhance reading skills as younger students hear fluent reading, which helps them learn new words and improve their comprehension. Meanwhile, older students develop patience, empathy, and leadership skills as they guide their younger friends, fostering a sense of responsibility and boosting their confidence. Additionally, younger children are able to observe positive role models, which can motivate them to improve their own reading skills and behavior, and the one-on-one interaction allows for personalized support, which can be particularly beneficial for struggling readers who might need extra help. Sharing books and stories in a supportive environment helps cultivate a lifelong love for reading. #readingpartners #collaboration #nurture #readingskills #readingcomprehension #motivation #mentor #leadershipskills #empathy #patience #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington

Early Childhood - Gross Motor Skills Development of gross motor skills is an integral part of a child's development which is incorporated into the Montessori curriculum, in this case, through yoga. Yoga promotes mindfulness, concentration, coordination, physical health, and emotional well-being. Students choose this material off the shelf and decide which poses they wish to complete, helping them explore their capabilities, resulting in a sense of independence and self-discovery. By practicing yoga, children learn how to manage their emotions and reduce stress in a calm and peaceful environment. #movement #emotionalregulation #physicaldevelopment #mindfulness #order #concentration #coordination #independence #tma #montessori #privateschool #arlingtontx #arlington #texas #infant #nido #toddler #earlychildhood #preschool #kindergarten #elementary #education #privateeducation #nontraditional #themontessoriacademyofarlington
