Our Mission

A Journey of Learning That Never Ends

The Montessori Academy of Carrollwood is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that meets every child’s developmental needs, fosters their innate curiosity, and shapes a lifelong learner capable of leading a meaningful life.
“Imagine a world where each adult is independent, confident, resourceful, and acts with a purpose. That is the future with Montessori” — American Montessori Society (AMS)

Our Vision

Personalized Learning in a Purposeful Environment, Guided by Montessori Principles

The Montessori Academy of Carrollwood will utilize the proven effectiveness of the Montessori educational model to teach a diverse range of students, successfully guiding each child on their journey to knowledge. Teachers will “follow the child” and, using Montessori methods and materials, will identify ways to encourage each student’s unique learning style and individual talents. Multi-age classrooms will foster personal growth without stigma, allowing students to thrive in a supportive environment that includes their peers, teachers, and parents. As a result, a MAC graduate will develop a deep respect for others, gain confidence as a learner, and accumulate knowledge that will support them throughout their life.

What Our Parents Say

Lorena Roger Anaya

Academically kids are well prepared. My son is now attending VPK at another school and he is advanced in many areas – we feel this is due to MAC teaching methodology.

Michelle Clesen

I am a first time mom and chose to put my daughter in this school when she was about 8 weeks old. I love taking my daughter there and know that she is in the best hands possible.

Mayse Passie

Great school environment. The teachers and admin at MAC put so much into the kids. We especially loved the kids being able to learn Spanish and share in each other’s cultures.

Jessica Breeding

MAC has been a blessing to our family! Our 3-year-old is working through some challenging behaviors, and the staff has been incredibly supportive in helping him grow and thrive.

Leonardo Rubio

Our children have spent the past 3 years at MAC and loved every year. They look forward to each day and have grown in a caring, attentive environment. Highly recommend!
