School Notes

  • Knoxville Montessori School provides a safe, exciting educational environment where our children develop the courage, self-confidence and skills to pursue their dreams.
  • Our Montessori experience fosters a strong, inclusive community that embraces structure, freedom, responsibility and a variety of learning styles.
  • Small classes with low student-teacher ratios, inspired Montessori-trained teachers, and classrooms designed with the child in mind, make KMS a true 'Children's House'.
  • Education at KMS is based on the principles developed by Maria Montessori and extended and refined by Montessori teachers in America and around the world.
  • At the heart of this approach is the belief that children will best reach their potential by having the freedom to learn in a classroom especially prepared for exploring under the careful guidance of a trained teacher.

I have two sons. The oldest started at KMS when he was 2 and left at the end of 5th grade. My youngest is a third grader still at KMS. They have done wonderfully socially and academically. Now that my older son is in middle school, I can see what a great education he has received from KMS.
