Crabapple Montessori School (CMS) provides high quality private pre-school & elementary education for children residing in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Cumming, and Canton.
Crabapple Montessori School aspires to be a premier school for children between the ages of 18 months and 12 years where they develop character and academic skills necessary to succeed in the next levels of education and build a better tomorrow.
The school’s mission is to provide an educational environment that fosters an enthusiasm for learning and encourages children to reach their fullest potential. We strive to provide the highest quality Montessori education available; emphasizing basic academic disciplines and promoting the development of independence, self- respect, and respect for others.
Nestled on a 3-acre wooded lot off Crabapple Road in Alpharetta, Crabapple Montessori School was designed and built with Montessori education principles in mind. Established in 2002, our six spacious classrooms have an abundance of natural light, beautiful open spaces, and a fenced-in Children’s Garden for outdoor learning.
Our school also features a library, kitchen, and a Teacher’s Lounge. A spacious and inviting playground with modern equipment completes the campus.
Crabapple Montessori School is inclusive. We welcome children without regard to race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
As an authentic, private Montessori School, we have worked diligently to attain the Certificate of Recognition from the globally recognized Association Montessori Internationale (AMI). AMI Certified Schools are recognized the world over for excellence. The school has also been accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Here at Crabapple Montessori School, we take pride in the academic alacrity of our pupils. It is a true joy watching every child emerge from CMS a capable learner and independent thinker, who builds on the educational foundation only Montessori can give. More than just a school- it’s Montessori.
