Introduction

HMS Child Highlands Montessori: an independent Montessori school with AMI certified teachers, a commitment to small teacher-to-child ratios, and a commitment to personal support to each child's emotional and developmental needs. Est. in 1951 as a pre-school and later grade school under the philosophy of Piaget, Highlands became a Montessori school after much study and by researching the results of children under the philosophy of Maria Montessori and particularly because of the logic and sequence of the curriculum towards the child's natural development.

HMS Child Highlands helps the child to independence and a learning level of a high-achiever, while having fun along the way. The support to parents is always a part of our mission and in return, our strong independent Parent Group works closely with the administration and teachers to help us reach our goals and continuing progress.

Our calendar is a 9-month school term and a 3-month summer camp program with many family socials throughout the year. Our student body consists of a diverse cultural mix and French is taught as a second language. Starting in September 06 Spanish will be taught. Extended hours are available on a limited basis. Uniforms are required for children in pre-primary and primary classes.

Upon completing our primary program students have a strong foundation of skills, academic knowledge and the process of learning; preparing them for their advancement to many of Atlanta's private schools, other Montessori elementary schools and public schools.

We invite your inquires into our school. Please call 404-417-3399 to set up an appointment. We are a non-discriminatory student and employment organization.

"Teaching, if it is to benefit the tender children, must be such as will help them to advance along the road to independence." Maria Montessori: Discovery of the Child, page 72
