The Sankofa Way

At Sankofa Montessori, we BRIDGE standards based instruction with the Montessori approach. This means that we combine two educational methods to create a comprehensive learning experience. Standards-based instruction focuses on meeting specific educational standards or benchmarks set by our authorizer and the Georgia Department of Education. Our Montessori approach emphasizes student-centered learning, where students have more freedom to explore and learn at their own pace. It focuses on hands-on, experiential learning and encourages independence and critical thinking.

Testimonials

I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart, I can’t thank Sankofa enough for taking care of my pride and joy! Thank you for creating space and community for {him} to thrive and enjoy learning! He never complains about having to get up to get ready for school as he did with his previous school, and he is always quizzing us at home on math and spelling! Thank you, thank you! I hope we get the same, if not similar experience that Sanokofa has spoiled us with at his next school!

Thank you so much for providing us with this community. This is the first Montessori school that I have ever heard of that is tuition-free. I’m from New York where Montessori is 20,000+ a year. To our guides, We’re so grateful for you all, and we thank you for your patience this school year.
