ArborCreek Montessori Academy Inc.

ArborCreek Montessori Academy Inc. (ACMA) was founded on the belief that all children are entitled to an education that develops a knowledge of self and confidence of character that fosters a life-long love of learning. A persistent challenge faced by our community is access to Montessori education, due largely to economic and cultural barriers. We seek to overcome the obstacles to access in two ways: by providing scholarships to reduce the burden on families who wish to attend our school, and by providing accessible and meaningful outreach and educational programs to all members of our community through workshops and trainings on Montessori methods as well as complimentary educational programs for local youths and their families.

Our Needs

ACMA will use donations to support our educational and community initiatives in the following areas:

• Provide more scholarship funds for current and future students;
• Specialty training for teachers and staff for the successful implementation of Montessori methods with children of all backgrounds, including those considered to be at risk;
• Materials and equipment for community presentations and seminars;
• Materials for our school garden and outdoor learning lab; and Support for additional outreach efforts, including partnerships with local nonprofits to support their fundraising and impact efforts.
• Maintaining Accreditation Status and Standards
