Messiah Montessori School brings an advanced educational approach to our area for children beginning at age three and continuing throughout upper elementary. Our faith-based Christian school features quality education in a positive learning environment. Messiah Montessori is based on the educational principles of Dr. Maria Montessori and the global educational model that she developed almost 100 years ago. In addition to the elementary program, Messiah Montessori operates a pre-school for ages 3-5, a sensitive age period in the development of the child. Each classroom is filled with child-sized furniture and concrete sensorial learning materials which introduce to the children advanced concepts of mathematics, science, and language at early ages. Children learn at their own pace in a non-competitive environment that emphasizes respect for each child. Each child learns independent research skills, as well as to work together in small groups. Messiah Montessori emphasizes advanced academics, a tri-lingual program (English, Spanish, French), a love of the arts, music, character development, spiritual awareness, and social skills. The school is an affiliate of the American Montessori Society, accredited by the Louisiana Montessori Association (a division of the LA Department of Education), and an extension of Harvest Cathedral under the direction of Dr. Jules Boquet.
