A school, in the end, is its people. And we could not be prouder of ours. Guides stay long enough to teach siblings, and some, even the children of alumni. Families become friends. Children are known by name, by heart, by hand.
"Our experience at Austin Montessori School has been extraordinary and life-changing. Our daughter began her Montessori education in the Children's House and blossomed into a responsible, empathetic, and skilled individual in the Adolescent Community. We believe her experience truly exemplifies education for peace."
"As parents of children with dyslexia, finding the right school environment was incredibly important to us. AMS has done an outstanding job monitoring, supporting, and guiding our kids through their learning journey. The attention to their individual needs has been thoughtful, consistent, and effective, and most importantly, we've seen real progress."
"I believe Austin Montessori supported him in fully becoming himself, a tremendous gift in a world that seems to push us to become what it wants instead. The grounding he received at Austin Montessori and the experience of belonging and contributing to a community have helped him succeed beyond AMS. I wish every child got this care."
"Allowing that much independence for young people would seem to result in chaos, yet in the environment created in the AMS classrooms by the classroom Guide and informed by the decades-long experience of the AMS leadership, each child may be doing their own thing, and yet there isn't a semblance of disorder."
"We moved from China to Austin in 2016 when our girls turned five and two and a half. Austin Montessori School was our first choice because of its history, reputation, and curriculum till middle school, and it is an AMI-recognized school. Each day, we can see our daughters blossoming, peaceful, thankful, self-motivated, and confident girls who are eager for each school day."
Forty-four Guides across our three campuses. A pedagogical support team. An administrative staff. A volunteer Parents Association. The people who make AMS a community.
A volunteer body of current AMS families. AMSPA is the parent engine of the school.
It's also the connective tissue of the community: how parents meet each other, how new families find their footing, and how the school's traditions are kept alive across the years.
Officer roles include the Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer, Secretary, and committee leads for each campus and major event. Every current AMS family is a member of AMSPA, there is no separate sign-up. Active involvement is invited, not required.
