Carlisle Montessori School of Buckhead was founded in 2008 by Gina Ward, an AMI trained teacher and director with 20 years of experience in Montessori Education. For Ms. Ward, Montessori is not only a career, but a lifelong passion and commitment! The success of the two school’s Ms. Ward has founded and directed, is attributed to highly trained staff members, hundreds of students who have thrived and blossomed under their devoted direction and the word of mouth from satisfied parents.

Our goal is to follow Dr. Maria Montessori’s educational methods and philosophy in guiding and nurturing the “Whole Child”, both academically and spiritually. To provide a beautiful, safe and challenging environment that inspires independence, creativity, social consciousness, responsibility and a love for learning.

The Montessori Method provides a scientifically designed environment that has been honored and revered worldwide as one of the most popular Preschool educations available and has grown into hundreds of successful Elementary, Middle and High School programs throughout the United States and the World. Many independent public and private schools strive to emulate the Montessori Method to enhance their modern approach with individualized learning experiences and social awareness.

The Montessori Method is highly regarded and has been written about and studied by Neuropsychologists, Psychologists, Anthropologists and Educators worldwide.
