"We know what all children are capable of. Within our classrooms, they will be set free to discover them." - Mallory Miller
The Montessori Method was designed as an "aid to life". GMA founder and lead elementary guide, Mallory Miller, believes that education should liberate the human mind so that each child may come to define themselves so that each human spirit may ultimately find peace and individual purpose on life’s journey. Fulling this mission is the driving force behind her work along with her husband Nicolás Mazza, in support of their three children: Inde, Kailand, and Alenna, and every child that walks through the doors of Grow Montessori Academy.

"WITHIN THE CHILD LIES THE FATE OF THE FUTURE" - Maria Montessori
Maria Montessori's own school experience drove her desire to make sweeping educational reform after becoming one of the first woman medical doctors in Italy. Through scientific observation, she learned that when adults stepped out of the way, the children flourished. The Montessori Method allows children to reach their full academic potential through careful preparation of the classroom environment, the implementation of lessons by an expertly trained teacher, and by the creation of a classroom culture where children find joy in learning itself. New research shows a strong correlation between children that attend Montessori schools and higher ratings of wellbeing as adults. Positive student outcomes, both psychological and academic, are contingent upon expert implementation of the method.
