Academic excellence starts with a love of learning.
At Alcuin Montessori School, children learn at their own pace, immersing in subjects and activities designed to develop much more than academic skills. They develop a love of learning that prepares them to excel in the next level of education and beyond. It's no surprise that a large percentage of our graduates take advanced placement courses in high school. Learn more >>
