Maria Montessori
1870-1952

Thank you for your interest in our school and the programs offered at Smaller Scholars Montessori Academy. We understand the importance of finding not only a quality education for your child but also an environment that is safe and nurturing.

While reviewing our website, please notice that we have two campuses conveniently located in the West Houston Oil Corridor. Both locations offer before and after school programs with the same caring staff that work with your child during their regular school day.

Upon visiting our beautiful campuses you notice the diversity of our staff and students. In our Elementary program alone we have had 16 languages spoken by our children and staff. The Montessori philosophy is the same throughout the world and helps to offer smooth transitions and consistency as families move to and from our area.

We want to help children think for themselves as individuals in an atmosphere of cooperation and community. Maria Montessori often quoted, “Help me to do it by myself,” describing each child’s expression of an inner need for independence. Our program emphasizes this need by encouraging investigation and discovery with direct hand-on experiences. The curriculum includes all of the traditional Montessori areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Math, Language, Geography, Science, Art and Music. The children also practice “Grace and Courtesy” which emphasizes respect of one’s self, for others, for the environment and for one’s work while promoting academic excellence, creativity, and self-motivation and teaching a lifetime love of learning.

I invite you to join us in experiencing Montessori excellence.

Best Regards,

Noreen Martin
