Montessori school in Ellijay serving ages 3-12 with specialized support for learning differences and therapy services on-site
Pleasant Hills Montessori School in Ellijay, Georgia serves children ages 3–12 using an individualized Montessori curriculum designed to support whole-child development. The school actively supports students with learning differences, ADD/ADHD, and offers occupational therapy, speech therapy, and ABA services on-site. With an average class size of 15 students and 90% of faculty holding advanced degrees, the school provides a structured, developmentally-focused environment well-suited for children who benefit from hands-on learning and personalized pacing.
The Montessori approach emphasizes self-directed learning and independence, which can be particularly beneficial for students with attention or processing differences who thrive in less traditionally rigid classroom settings. The school integrates arts and music programs to support creative expression and multi-sensory engagement. Summer school is available for extended learning and support throughout the year.
Pleasant Hills is GAC-accredited and offers flexible enrollment options, including half-day and full-day programs. Tuition is $800 monthly for full-time attendance (ages 3–12), with scholarships available. Rolling admissions with a 90% acceptance rate means families can apply year-round.
