Dr. Maria Montessori found that children's best learning takes place through their senses and through their physical activity.

After years of expression in mainly pre-schools, Montessori philosophy is finally being used as originally intended: a method of seeing children as they really are and of creating environments which foster the fulfillment of their highest potential - spiritual, emotional, physical, and intellectual - as members of a family, the world community and the Cosmos.

AMIS is committed to creating a diverse school community and providing a happy, safe and caring learning environment for our students while enabling them to realize their full potential.

Atlanta Montessori International School (AMIS) provides a superior, international standard of education that fosters knowledge about the cultures and peoples of the world in which we live. AMIS is a year-round school serving the needs of children ages 16 months through Elementary level.

The school is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with core school hours from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. AMIS also offers an innovative summer camp program, open to AMIS students and to children from other Montessori schools.
