"I have studied the
child. I have taken
what the child has
given me and
expressed it and that
is what is called the
Montessori method."
~Dr. Maria Montessori
"Our aim is not only to make the child understand, and still less to
force him to memorize, but so to touch his imagination as to enthuse
him to his innermost core."
~ Dr. Maria Montessori
JMA will follow the academic calendar of Columbus City Schools, the public school
