Our History
Jane’s Montessori Academy was named in honor of Jane Wolfe
Chabria, who in 1965 opened the first Montessori school in
Columbus, Ohio. Opened under the name “Early Learning Center,”
the academy was built specifically to use the Montessori method of
education.
Sadly, Mrs. Chabria passed away in November, 2004. Jai
Chabria, Mrs. Chabria's nephew and his wife, Tammy Chabria,
have reopened the academy under its new name, to honor the
memory of this great pioneer in Columbus education.
Our Philosophies
The academy keeps Jane Chabria's wishes alive. Jane's
Montessori Academy adheres to the Montessori method of learning.
It also incorporates love and respect for nature and the environment;
something she greatly valued.
Students enrolled in the academy are treated as individuals, each
learning at his or her own pace and each fulfilling the fullest
potential possible. Each head teacher has a bachelor’s degree, in
addition to being trained in the Montessori method. Each assistant
teacher has earned a bachelor’s degree in education or a related
field, and has trained under a Montessori teacher. Morning and
afternoon sessions are offered with a low teacher-to-student ratio of
1:8. While we are an academic institution rather than a daycare,
before and after school care is also available. School uniforms are
required, as they encourage a community based environment.
Family involvement is a key element of any child's education. As
such, we strive to have constant communication with families.
Daily reports are sent home with students so parents are aware of
their child's activities. Additionally, detailed quarterly progress
reports are sent home and quarterly parent-teacher conferences are
scheduled so families can better understand how their child is
progressing academically and socially.
Finally, we offer separate music, drama and gym classes to each
of our students. These weekly classes are included in the tuition.
Our Mission Statement
We are committed to guiding each child in our charge to reach his
or her highest potential by providing all the materials, a working
environment, and high quality trained faculty to facilitate learning.
We believe that the habits children learn at this time will help them
be successful throughout their lives.
Our Commitment to Preserving the Environment
We will strive to use reuse products and recycled material products
as much as possible.
We are a member of Co-Op America’s Fair Trade Alliance, a
commitment we have made to use products that ensure that farmers
and artisans throughout the developing world receive a fair price
for their products, that communities are healthy, and the environment
is preserved.
We will use healthy methods to clean and keep a germ-free
environment inside the school, using products that do not harm your
child’s health or the environment, but still ensure high cleanliness.
We will conserve energy both inside the building and outside, in
order to keep our dependence on fossil fuels to a minimum, and our
carbon emissions at as low of a rate as possible.
We will use locally grown produce and products where possible, to
support our local farmers and to reduce the environmental strains
that shipping causes.
We will recycle or reuse all materials that we can.
We will make available materials to educate to our families about
things that they can do to tread lighter on the environment.
Most important, we will have available the materials necessary for
your child to learn to love and respect for the natural world in
which we live.

"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."
