History

Established in 2005, The Montessori Academy (TMA), formerly The Montessori Elementary & Middle School (TMEMS), is a charter school through the Public Education Commission (PEC) in the State of New Mexico. TMA currently serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade, with plans to continue through twelfth grade, from Albuquerque and the surrounding areas. Our classes incorporate the Montessori philosophy and curriculum, with weekly Suzuki music lessons and Visual Art classes. 

Mission

The Montessori Academy empowers K-12 students to become independent thinkers and global citizens by fostering a positive, inclusive environment that nurtures each student’s unique development. Guided by Montessori principles, we provide a rigorous academic curriculum enriched by a fine arts program featuring the Suzuki Method for strings and Visual Arts, preparing students to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the world.

Vision

To see children transition from one stage of independence and learning to a higher one through special activities within the Montessori and Suzuki educational methods.  These time-proven “Methods” were designed to fulfill the needs of children and the needs of the adults they are to become.
