The American Montessori Leadership Academy is located within the compound of The Freetown Secondary School for Girls ( F.S.S.G) by the Hannah Benka-Coker Street entrance. We believe that all children, regardless of ethnicity, economic, or social circumstance, can and will succeed in school, and ultimately in life, when given a strong foundation during the first nine years of life. Our vision is to expose these students to life experiences that will enable them to contribute in building a better society by learning and developing life skills, leadership skills and character traits like obedience, tolerance, humility, responsibility attentiveness, compassion and respect for nature and the physical environment. We offer the finest collection of hands-on, mind-on activities; a specifically prepared learning environment and Montessori certified teachers in classrooms for children age three onwards. We stress the holistic development of each child: spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. Our school promotes a safe, orderly, caring, and supportive environment. Each student's self-esteem is fostered by positive relationships with other students and staff. Pop Libraries is one of the strategies that we employ to reach kids in their communities and engage them in developing a love for reading and learning. Pop Libraries brings learning opportunities to public space in our local communities. Using custom-designed installations, we pop up in parks, market places, and other public spaces to offer reading, drawing, and hands-on activities that let kids embrace the art of learning. We strive to provide an enriched learning environment through the Montessori philosophy in an atmosphere based on Christian principles and character formation.
