Collaborate, Create, and Solve

Students engage in project-based work, allowing them to collaborate, create, and solve real-world problems. On-going assessments, in a multitude of formats, provide meaningful feedback that informs their work. ASM students are given opportunities to practice skills that develop perseverance, independence and leadership.

Powerful, Proven Principles

These Montessori tenets differentiate us from other independent and traditional schools. At ASM, we are committed to applying these powerful, proven principles, every day, in every classroom. Along with our mission, these principles guide us in our effort to provide the best learning environment for our students.
