Battle Creek Montessori Academy

Battle Creek Montessori Academy educates students through Montessori methods and character development, fostering intellectual curiosity and academic excellence, and developing children who are self-reliant, peaceful, and committed to making positive contributions to their community.

Battle Creek Montessori Academy opened their doors in 2013 because they saw a need for a different approach to learning.

Through the Montessori style of teaching, students are able to learn through discovery in an environment that promotes interest, exploration, freedom, and curiosity. They approach problems in a unique way, from using nature to learn math, to partnering with a student who might be advanced in a certain topic, to using learned Peace Resolution skills to talk through a conflict with a classmate.

When children feel included they become stronger learners. BCMA features mixed-age classrooms so that students can work together to learn from one another. Younger students look to older students for help, which in turn allows the older student to use their knowledge and confidence to teach and reinforce the lesson.

BCMA cares about the whole child and wants to see every part of them succeed. Character Choices, our character education program, is woven into our curriculum so students discover what it means to be respectful, courageous, and compassionate.
