We are located in Denver's historic Curtis Park neighborhood. We, at the Montessori Academy of Colorado, believe that educational excellence is the only choice. We invite you to visit our school and become educated about our philosophy, vision, programs, and, of course, actual practices in the classroom. Founded in 2002, The Montessori Academy of Colorado (MAC) offers programs for children from eight weeks through 8th grade. MAC is a non-sectarian, non-discriminatory school relative to race, color, s*x, religion, national/ethnic origin or family makeup and is a non-profit organization. Our goal is to provide an educational environment that serves the whole child, where he/she can grow intellectually, emotionally, socially, and physically, and our curriculum is designed on a continuum of developmental education that follows each individual child. Our educational philosophy follows the Montessori Method of education, but is constantly expanded through further studies and research in education. The Montessori Method of education is named after its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). By working with, and scientifically observing children, she brought about a new form of education. She respected each child as an individual with unlimited potential and provided an environment that allowed the natural unfolding and education of that child within the limits of respect for oneself, the environment and others. The Montessori environment is specifically designed around an individual’s distinct learning style, allowing him/her to progress at his/her own pace, with guidance and support from teachers. It is important to note that Montessori education is a guiding philosophy that incorporates many different curricula. This allows specific curriculum guidelines to be developed for each individual’s distinct needs.

Some of the best learning happens outside the classroom.

From playground exploration to neighborhood walks, our children have opportunities to move, observe, and connect with the world around them. These everyday experiences encourage curiosity, independence, and a growing sense of community.

A MAC Middle Schooler took over as Head of School for the day! She sat in a lot of meetings, made a donor thank you call, worked recess duty, read to a Primary classroom and called a fire drill. She sure is tired.
