I have used this provider for more than 6 months

The Montessori school of Fort Smith is over crowded, staff is under trained and overwhelmed. The school is not accredited by any Montessori society nor regulated by any educational entity. Administration is careless, money driven and unresponsive. This school has gone from a community of caring people, to an exclusive club for the wealthy. Sad.

About the Provider

The Montessori School enrolls approximately 80 students and is the only school in the Fort Smith community to offer the benefits of a private, non-sectarian Montessori education to children age 2.9 years through 12 years. The student population is diverse racially, culturally, and religiously. We seek and celebrate their diversity.We offer three environments: Primary(ages 2.9 to 6 years), Lower Elementary (ages 6 to 9 years), and Upper Elementary (ages 9 to 12 years). Our classrooms are carefully prepared environments where children are enabled to work at their own level and pace.
