“Our daughter Ishi is in her 3rd year at Carlisle and we see her growing into a responsible, conscious and a confident young girl. We moved from India where Ishi was attending a Montessori school and we wanted her to continue in Montessori here at Atlanta. We are very fortunate to find Carlisle Montessori here. Ms Gina, Ms Njambi, Ms Taral, Ms Sydney and rest all teachers are doing a fabulous job.
In the early years of Montessori it may feel that the child is not learning the usual school stuff (knowing her alphabets, numbers etc) but in the final years of primary program (age 5-6) the child can read, write in cursive, do her math (calculations in 1000s :)), have knowledge of world geography (maps, flags, languages etc) and much more than academics. The child is independent to do most of her chores with little or no help and with pride.
We are very excited and are looking forward to see her complete the 6 year Montessori primary program.”Ila Shukla - Current Parent At Carlisle Montessori School
Carlisle Montessori School, located in Atlanta, was founded in 2008 by Gina Ward, an AMI trained teacher and director with over 26 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.

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.
