Montessori School

Montessori School in Chattanooga serves students from prekindergarten through 8th grade using the Montessori approach, which emphasizes independent learning, self-directed discovery, and respect for individual differences. The school explicitly offers Learning Difference Programs, making it a thoughtful option for students with learning disabilities or those who thrive in individualized, movement-based learning environments. With an average class size of 15 students and carefully arranged classrooms designed to support each child's unique pace, the school creates space for students who need a less conventional academic structure.

The Montessori curriculum integrates intellectual and artistic development through hands-on, self-correcting materials and rich creative offerings, including after-school studios and music programs. This sensory and kinesthetic approach can be particularly effective for students with ADHD, dyslexia, or other learning differences who benefit from multi-sensory instruction and autonomy in their learning journey. The school is affiliated with the International Montessori Council and has operated since 1973.

Montessori School has rolling admissions and charges $10,151 annually.
