In the words of a Carlisle Parent:
“Our experience at Carlisle Montessori School has been wonderful! We love the small size of the school and the warm, homey classrooms. Gina Ward, the director, is passionate about the Montessori philosophy, and this is reflected in the careful design of the classroom environments and the quality of the teaching staff. The teaching staff is very stable - some have been with the school for many years. Both of our children started at Carlisle as toddlers, and our oldest will soon be graduating from the Primary program. It has been amazing to see their growth over the years, and I attribute much of their capabilities to their time at Carlisle. With regard to math and reading/writing skills, it's clear that the Montessori method has provided an amazing foundation for our oldest. Now in his kindergarten year, he is doing division and fractions, and reading and writing independently. But more importantly, he is self-motivated, curious, and able to apply the skills he is learning at school to the daily world around him.

Who are we? And what do we do?
Carlisle Montessori School, located in Atlanta, was founded in 2008 by Gina Ward, an AMI trained teacher and director with over 29 years of experience in Montessori Education. Our charming "Children's House" is located in the heart of Atlanta, in the Historic Neighborhood of Lindbergh Martin Manor.
We believe that if you provide your child with a AMI Montessori Education Foundation in the most important first six years of life, your child will have a strong sense of self, independence, community, leadership and acquire critical thinking skills while learning to read, write and learn arithmetic.
Our goal is to closely follow Dr. Maria Montessori’s educational methods and philosophies in guiding and nurturing the "whole child." This means teaching them academically, emotionally and socially. We also make it our aim to provide a beautiful, safe and challenging environment that inspires independence, creativity, social consciousness, personal responsibility and a love for learning. We keep our classrooms intimate and strive daily for excellence both in our environment and in our instruction, so that parents can be sure the AMI Montessori Education their children receive, is of the very highest quality.

Dr. Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Rome in 1896. She was the first female physician in Italy. Her educational background also included Anthropology, Psychiatry and Biology. Montessori was very interested in children and their development. She observed how the young children could easily construct themselves from the environment provided to them. How the child easily absorbed information and experiences. She as a scientist, created a learning method and designed special materials to meet the child's natural needs to adapt to and learn from their world.
In 1907 Maria Montessori opened "Casa Dei Bambini" in San Lorenzo, Italy for the poor children ages 3 - 6. The children flourished and word of the "Montessori Method" began to spread throughout the world. In 1929 Dr. Montessori founded Association Montessori International (AMI) to insure integrity of the principles of the Montessori Method.
