Welcome to Montessori Academy of Slidell

Montessori Academy of Slidell is an independent Montessori school dedicated to providing a high-quality, developmentally appropriate education for children during their most formative years. Grounded in the principles of authentic Montessori practice, our school offers a thoughtfully prepared environment where children are encouraged to develop independence, confidence, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Our educational approach emphasizes purposeful work, hands-on learning, and respect for each child’s individual developmental path. Through carefully designed classrooms and trained educators, students learn to think critically, work collaboratively, manage responsibility, and take ownership of their learning. Academic growth is supported alongside social, emotional, and ethical development, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience.

Families choose Montessori Academy of Slidell because they are seeking an intentional learning community—one that values structure, independence, and meaningful engagement over rote instruction. We partner closely with families to support children as they grow into capable, curious, and responsible individuals.

We invite prospective families to learn more about our programs and to experience our school in person through a guided tour. Visiting our campus offers insight into the Montessori philosophy in action and the calm, focused learning environment that defines Montessori Academy of Slidell.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing how a Montessori education can support your child’s growth and development.

Testimonials

"My daughter has thrived. She is so much more confident and I can tell how loving the teachers are. I have seen how they work with kids to build their confidence but also offer hugs and kindness when that’s what they need. My daughter has also learned so much. She knows how to take care of things and has pride in her work but also sees how her actions affect others..."

- Sarah G.

"Absolutely love this school. Have had nothing but great experiences with all the teachers, manager, and owner. My daughter is always in happy spirits when I drop her off in the morning to when I pick her up in the evening. She is always treated as if she is one of the teachers own child. I would recommend MAS to anyone looking for a great Montessori school."

- Jenna D.

"This is our first year at MAS & have loved it every step of the way! Staff is very responsive, transparent, and eager to create the best environment for the students. We are in the Primary class (on the younger side) and my daughter has developed so many new skills both academically & socially. Highly recommend you give them a shot if you’re considering this style of learning for your little!"

- Brooke P.

"Knowing what I know now from the personal experiences we’ve had with this academy, I wish I could go back in time and send all my children here. I also wish Montessori could teach my children throughout their entire school career. This is life changing. I recommend it highly for anyone who is able to enroll their child."
