40 Years of Proven Experience!
Premium childcare & Montessori-based education for children beginning at birth.
We Emphasize More than Just Academics
Grand Forks Montessori Academy’s mission is to foster growth of the whole child through a multi-sensory experience, allowing children to find their voice and express themselves with self-confidence and strong character development.
…but the Academics Are a Huge Strength
It is not uncommon in our school to see two and three-year-olds taking care of their environment, four-year olds reading and writing their letters in cursive, and five-year-olds working on dynamic multi-digit mathematics. Our curriculum presents skills at the time when children are most ready to learn. With 40 years of experience, we know our methods work.
We’re a Community
Grand Forks Montessori Academy is a community for more than just the children. We view our relationship with you as a partnership, working together for the benefit of your child. Children thrive when home and school work in harmony.
Parents Reviews
Our Programs
A Cozy Home Away from Home
0 - 18 months
It begins here. Your infant’s mind is sensitive and is developing rapidly. He is eager to makes new discoveries each day! This once-in-a-lifetime process is supported with unconditional love in our Montessori-based infant program.
Journey to Independence
18 - 36 months
Some refer to this developmental period as “The Terrible Twos.” We disagree; toddlers are terrific. We love everything about them – their energy, determination and curiosity – and purposefully created a very special place for your toddler to learn.
A Love for Learning
3 - 6 years
The Primary program, known as our 'Children's Hourse' is truly a gift to your child. Designed for children between the ages of 3 to 6 years, it is an opportunity to nurture individual development within the context of a group setting. The result? Self-confidence, joy and a lifelong love-for-learning.
