As parents and educators, we understand the importance of selecting the right school for your child, and we are honored that you are considering us.

Hello, Prospective Families,

Welcome to The Montessori Academy of Colorado, where tomorrow’s leaders build future-ready skills every day.

At MAC, we are raising children with voice and choice, not only in the classroom, but in an ever-changing world. We honor each child’s unique interests, strengths, and identity, and we provide an educational pathway that supports the discovery of purpose and the development of potential.

Through Montessori pedagogy and purpose-based learning, students become independent thinkers, creators, problem-solvers, debaters, and do-gooders. MAC provides a strong foundation in the skills that matter most for the future: critical thinking, communication, collaboration, citizenship, and a growth mindset.

We also know that caregivers need trusted partners just as much as children need exceptional schools. At MAC, families are part of a community where both children and adults can learn and grow. Whether you are taking that first step out of the house with a newborn or searching for a school that will spark a lifelong love of learning and a strong sense of purpose in your child, we are excited to connect with you. You may reach out via phone, email or inquire below for more information or to set up a tour. You may also access our Admissions FAQs here.

Warmly,

Marissa Travis
Associate Director of Enrollment

TMI On-Site Training

With the relocation of The Montessori Institute to MAC’s campus, the school serves not only as a learning environment for children, but also as a hub for the preparation and continued development of Montessori educators.

Dual Accreditation

Accredited by both the American Montessori Society and the Association of Colorado Independent Schools, MAC meets rigorous standards for Montessori fidelity, academic excellence, governance, and institutional integrity.

Montessori Trained Teachers

MAC’s educators hold specialized Montessori credentials, ensuring instruction that is developmentally responsive and grounded in authentic Montessori pedagogy.

Non-Discrimination Policy: The Montessori Academy of Colorado is a non-sectarian, non-discriminatory school. The school's non-discrimination policy is relative to race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation with respect to the admissions, programs and activities performed at the school as well as in regards to employment of faculty and administrative staff.

We both left in awe of what we saw on the school tour. It’s very clear to us that everyone not only takes a lot of pride in the MAC, but you love what you do and that comes through in every facet. The energy and enthusiasm for kids being able to learn from an early age along with the structured freedom is inspiring to me as a first time parent - I feel like we’ve learned so much already by simply getting to know MAC.
