South Florida Montessori Academy
Our School
South Florida Montessori Academy is a private Montessori school serving children aged 18 months to 12 years. We are recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI), accredited by the Florida Department of Education, and fully licensed by the Broward County Childcare Licensing and Enforcement agency.
Our highly trained faculty and thoughtfully prepared environments foster independence, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Our integrated curriculum includes language, math, science, geography, world cultures, and the arts, enriched by Spanish language instruction, hands-on practical life activities, and creative arts. Every element of our program is designed to cultivate academic growth and personal development within a supportive and vibrant parent community.
When you visit our classrooms, you’ll immediately sense the difference in our approach: engaged children working independently or in small groups, immersed in activities that match their developmental stages. At South Florida Montessori Academy, we empower children to become lifelong learners and socially responsible adults through an authentic Montessori education.
Our Classes
Montessori education is a hands-on, child-centered approach, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori.
This method recognizes that each child is a unique individual with their own interests, abilities, and pace of development.
Our Montessori-trained teachers guide and support children as they work with specialized materials, fostering concentration, independence, self-confidence, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
Our classrooms with mixed-age groups (where children of different ages learn together) are:
- Toddlers: 18 months to Three-years-old.
- Children’s House: Three years old to five years old.
- Elementary: Six years old to twelve years old.
Having mixed-age classrooms fosters a supportive social community, promotes cooperation, and allows younger children to learn from older peers, while older children reinforce their knowledge by teaching and mentoring younger ones.
Each classroom is carefully prepared to meet the developmental needs (and challenge) children, while also allowing them to learn and succeed on their own. They are calm, orderly, and inviting spaces, with child-sized furniture, materials, and activities arranged on low shelves. This encourages freedom of movement, choice, and independent exploration.

This school is amazing. My son absolutely loved the teachers and work he was doing. This school is AMI accredited and follow very very closely to original teachings of Maria Montessori. I was researching the best school for my son and this school kept coming up on top, we toured the school and we were sold. And it’s the best decision we made. Definitely recommend this school.
