Message from the Head of School
We hope that you find our website to be informative and that it intrigues you enough to visit us in person. ASM started in 1975 as a small one room Montessori pre-school, located in a church building. Today, we serve 200 students ages 3 through 8th grade in a facility that was built in 1996 and expanded in 2001. In many ways, the world was a different place in 1975. Because of technological advances, it is getting smaller and smaller. The children being educated now will be citizens of the world; in fact, some already are. Our responsibility is to provide as many opportunities as possible for students to learn about the rest of the world, its people and how they live. Students at ASM work closely with teachers to meet high academic standards while progressing through the Montessori curriculum at their own pace; moving ahead when they are ready, yet being able to stay with a concept until it is understood. Research becomes a tool to open up unknown worlds. Students develop the ability to work independently and personal accomplishments engender a true sense of self-satisfaction. [read more]
