Maria Montessori School

read moreWelcome to Maria Montessori School, located in the Harbor Town community of Memphis, Tennessee! Our mission is to provide an environment that frees the child to develop their full academic, emotional and spiritual potential.

read moreWe believe our middle school curriculum meets or surpasses those of local private and public schools while embracing Montessori methodology. Students in the middle school environment are exposed to practices and methods that prepare them for the more traditional models they will encounter as high school students. Our students go on to study at a variety of private and public high schools throughout the Memphis area, and colleges attended by MMS alumni range from the University of Memphis and Rhodes College to Georgetown University and Millsaps College.

read moreOur staff and student body are relatively small and the resulting community is closely knit and unique. The process of admission to the school includes a specific set of steps that ensure that parents know as much about the school and the Montessori method as possible and that faculty and staff know as much about each child as possible. The Maria Montessori School does not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, ethnic or national origin in its admission practices or in any activities or school programs.
