Springmont School, located at 5750 Long Island Drive NW in Atlanta, Georgia 30327, holds the distinction of being the oldest Montessori school in the Southeastern United States. The institution serves students from the Toddler level through Middle School (8th grade), grounding its educational approach in Montessori methodology, hands-on learning, and environmental exploration. Four core principles structure the academic culture: Curiosity, Mastery, Wisdom, and Distinction.
Faculty members at Springmont average more than 15 years of classroom experience. The campus includes class gardens, farm animals, outdoor classrooms, and creative play spaces that support science education and the school’s Landschool programming, which integrates the outdoor environment directly into the curriculum. Specialized programs beyond core academics include Visual and Performing Arts woven throughout all grade levels, Physical Education and Sports, an Enrichment Program, and Extended Care services for families needing before- or after-school supervision.
Summer programming and camps are available for Toddler and Primary students during the off-school season. The school’s IMPACT program provides a structured avenue for parent volunteers to engage with the school community. Annual traditions include an auction and a commencement ceremony for graduating students.
Springmont holds accreditation from SAIS and SACS and is recognized by AMI (Association Montessori Internationale). Memberships include AAAIS, GISA, and NAIS.
