Springmont School

Our son went to Springmont when it was called First Montessori of Atlanta. He had attended Sarah Smith in elementary school and we were not sure that Sutton was a good fit for him so we did a tour of FMSA, which happened to be on the day of their 6th year presentations. We were blown away at how  composed, articulate, and kind the students were. Each child did a 20 minutes PowerPoint presentation in front of 50 people with poise and aplomb. The A/V went out during one presentation and the other kids swooped in to the rescue, fixing the problem. Our son was unusual because most kids grew up in the Montessori system where he did not. He thrived from day one and became an ambassador for the school. He would tell the other kids that they did not realize how lucky they were. He spent 3 years at the school and was reading at the level of a sophomore in college when he was in 8th grade. (He didn't know that....the beauty of Montessori is you are never ever bored). He learned how to mediate disagreements, he worked on a farm at the land school, hanging drywall, he ran a school lunch program and blossomed into a confident, poised young man. I cannot say enough good things about this school. I wish that I had gone to Montessori; it is that impressive.

We have two children at this school. All the faculty and staff know the kids and parents by name. The teachers are amazing people and experienced educators. I have found them to be invested, caring, and effective. It's easy to rate this school an A+.
