Academic Enrichment Program

This program allows families to experience a high-quality, Montessori-inspired education while our school completes our journey of becoming a fully licensed private school. Children enjoy the same individualized attention, hands-on learning, and structured curriculum as a private school setting. When our school becomes fully licensed in the fall of 2028, this program will seamlessly transition into the private school model, with all administrative requirements, including state documentation and the tracking of children’s academic progress, now being handled by the school itself. Learn more about our building and licensing journey here.

Our Academic Enrichment Program is designed for parents who want to provide a rich, structured learning experience for their child at home, while receiving professional guidance and support. This program offers a Montessori-inspired, teacher-led environment that complements your child’s home learning. Parents can confidently support their child’s education, knowing that experienced educators are handling lesson planning, instruction, and any state-required documentation, making the process simple and stress-free.

Program Details

At the heart of our Academic Enrichment Program is a Montessori-inspired approach that nurtures the whole child while supporting families. Here are some of the ways children and parents benefit from this approach:

  • Individualized attention: Instruction tailored to your child’s pace, interests, and learning style.

  • Hands-on learning: Montessori materials make concepts tangible, boosting understanding and retention.

  • Small-group environment: Children develop social skills and collaboration experience without the overwhelm of a large classroom.

  • Structured yet flexible curriculum: Children progress at their own pace, building confidence and a love of learning.

  • Support for parents: We manage the educational plan and assist with state documentation, reducing stress and saving time.

  • Academic and personal growth: Students develop independence, focus, creativity, and critical thinking skills.

The Montessori Difference

We guide parents every step of the way, making it simple to start home-based learning and participate in our program. The steps to begin are straightforward:

  1. Prepare Form 4140 or Letter of Intent: Complete the required form with the necessary details and submit it to your child’s designated public school principal before beginning instruction.

  2. Receive approval: The principal will acknowledge receipt, and you should keep a copy for your records. Resubmit if your child moves to a new grade level or school district.

  3. Apply to our program:

    1. Submit an Enrollment Interest Form. Fill out and submit by email to let us know you are interested in joining Growing Minds Montessori Academy.

    2. Schedule an in-person interview. Once we receive your form, we will contact you to arrange a meeting. This will allow us to learn more about your child and share information about our school. We encourage the whole family to attend.

    3. New student orientation. If your child is selected, we will invite you to attend a new student orientation to prepare your family for a smooth transition into our progra.

Once enrollment is finalized, we will work closely with you to complete all progress monitoring and state documentation, ensuring that your child’s academic records are accurate and up to date. If this program sounds like a good fit for you and your child, apply today!
