Nurturing lives of purpose
Welcome to Sankofa Montessori, a leading Montessori school in Georgia that fosters purpose-driven lives.
About us
Designing more purposeful futures
At Sankofa Montessori, we utilize the Montessori model of learning to
provide a culturally responsive, child and family-centered Montessori
education that empowers every child with the knowledge, skills, and
agency to lead a life of purpose.
Our Programs
Kindergarten
In the Kindergarten Community, our youngest learners thrive in a hands-on environment that nurtures independence, creativity, and a love for learning. Through sensorial exploration, practical life activities, and early academics, students build foundational skills with confidence.We bridge the Montessori approach with standards based instruction, ensuring students develop a strong academic foundation and the problem-solving skills needed to design more purposeful futures.
Lower Elementary (1st-2nd Grade)
In Lower Elementary, curiosity blossoms into knowledge through collaborative, inquiry-based learning. With a focus on grade-level subjects, critical thinking, and social-emotional growth, students build independence and responsibility. We bridge Montessori philosophy with standards-based instruction, aligning student exploration with grade-level expectations to foster academic growth and real-world skills.
Upper Elementary (3rd & 4th grade)
In Upper Elementary, students expand their independence and academic skills through project-based learning and real-world application. We bridge standards-based instruction with Montessori through targeted lessons and assessments, ensuring students master grade-level expectations while nurturing creativity and self-direction.
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!
I just love love love each and every one of the staff members at Sankofa. You all are so amazing and you can see it on all of the children’s faces as they enter and depart the school. You all are greatly appreciated and keep up the good work!
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.
