Sowing the seeds of organic learning Brought to you by – Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia Maria Montessori, Italy’s first woman doctor, invented a system of early childhood education based on her scientific observations of how the child constructs himself through interaction with his environment. Her emphasis on the importance of the “prepared” environment created by the teacher offers the child the freedom to choose his work. This freedom - which is given when the child demonstrates the responsibility to use it wisely - allows him to remain with an activity until its purpose is accomplished. Working without artificial timelines allows him to engage in the spontaneous repetition of a skill so that it is refined; this freedom also creates in him the ability to concentrate for long periods of time and to feel the satisfaction of mastery. In a Montessori environment, the teacher serves as a guide rather than as a traditional instructor. She continually observes the child, using these observations to give the next lesson so that he steadily progresses. The multi-aged classroom gives every

child regular opportunities to be the learner as well as the leader in the security of a home-like environment which is cared for by everyone in it, teacher and student alike. The Montessori classroom is ordered and beautiful, filled with materials that are aesthetically pleasing, materials which capture the imagination and assist in physical, academic and social development. Montessori develops children who are responsible, creative, innovative, respectful and kind. Montessori children are truly the citizens of the future, equipped to face challenges with confidence and competence. Located near the intersection of 141 and McGinnis Ferry Road in Johns Creek, Johns Creek Montessori School of Georgia provides excellence in Montessori education for infants, toddlers and children to six years old. JCMSOG provides an authentic Montessori environment, where each individual’s needs are respected, and everyone works together for the good of the community. The focus is always on helping the children to develop themselves in a caring, peaceful environment. By helping children to develop independence, we assist them in their physical and emotional

development. As their sense of security in their ability to care for themselves and their environment grows, their brains have more energy or “bandwidth” for increased academic learning. Additionally, this focus on development

of muscular control is a first step in developing self-discipline. The JCMSOG Difference is best experienced in person. Please schedule a visit with your child to observe our “Montessori Magic” - www. JCMSOG.org 770-814-8001

Nurturing self-confidence in Middle School Brought to you by – Atlanta Academy Today, families have an overwhelming variety of educational options for their children. Schools vary based on academic priorities and emphasis on social-emotional development. The education system is notorious for its ever-changing recommendations, but we believe our commitment to a Kindergarten8th grade (K-8) model will continue to stand the test of time. Through the years, research has shown the benefits of the K-8 model. We believe students are more confident when they can gradually adjust to middle school, build positive teacher-student relationships, and feel an overall sense of belonging. We have found that middle-school-age students learn and behave better when they remain in a familiar environment for nine years and have opportunities to serve as leaders and role models for younger students. In the discovery process, we also uncovered that when 4th and 5th-grade students are intentionally taught to manage themselves through executive functioning techniques like self-advocacy, organization, and study skills, the transition to middle school is more manageable. To help these students gain a solid foundation before middle school, we developed the “Mini-Middle” program at Atlanta Academy to help them prepare. In middle school, academic and social settings begin to change. Providing a challenging academic program is easy but developing students’ self-esteem

and attitude is more demanding. For that reason, our formula combines academics with every aspect of a child’s adolescent growth and development. Ultimately, our success record speaks for itself. More than 94% of our eighth-grade graduates are accepted to their top choice, including prestigious private and public high schools. Many of our students are placed in Advanced Placement and

accelerated classes in their new high schools. At Atlanta Academy, our mission of giving every student individual attention allows us to combine specific academic and developmental needs with age-appropriate social and emotional support, which are especially beneficial during the significant middle school years.
