Maximilian Montessori Academy

Maximilian Montessori Academy (MMA) is a premier K-12 private school dedicated to providing an exceptional education to children from preschool through high school age. Established in 1988, MMA has been serving the Owensboro community and surrounding areas for over three decades. Our mission is to enable each child to develop into a well-rounded human being, spiritually, intellectually, socially, physically, and emotionally.

Our Philosophy

At MMA, we believe in the inherent potential of every child. We follow the philosophy and techniques of the Montessori approach, which recognizes that children carry within them the adults they will become. To develop their physical, intellectual, and spiritual abilities to the fullest, children must have freedom-a freedom achieved through order and self-discipline. We strive to create an atmosphere faithful to the Magesterium of the Catholic Church, where religious education is an integral part of our curriculum through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd.

The Montessori Method

The Montessori method is based on the idea that children learn best through hands-on experiences and self-directed activities. With developmentally-appropriate materials and the freedom to follow their interests, children teach themselves. Our teachers serve as guides, helping students to innovate, think critically, and learn from their mistakes. We believe that every child is unique, and our classrooms reflect this diversity, fostering a strong community where students can develop a sense of order, concentration skills, and self-monitoring abilities.

Curriculum and Programs

Our curriculum and programs are designed to help children reach their full potential. We offer a broad range of subjects, including language arts, mathematics, science, history, geography, practical life skills, and religious education. Our programs have some features that cannot be easily offered in more traditional school settings, including a small, carefully-designed environment and individualized instruction for each student.

Admissions

Our student body is comprised of children of varying ages, abilities, and backgrounds. The Montessori method is not just for gifted or special needs children; it is for every child! We believe that every child can benefit from the Montessori approach, and we welcome all families to apply for admission.

Our Staff

Our staff is comprised of certified Montessori educators, experienced teachers, and supportive administrators. We are committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can flourish and grow. Our teachers are dedicated to guiding students in their academic and personal development, and we work closely with families to ensure that each child receives the support they need to succeed.
