Innovative Education: Embracing the Whole Child

At MidCities Montessori Academy, we emphasize comprehensive child development by integrating various educational methods, including Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and additional innovative teaching styles, to cater to and inspire all types of learners. Our educational philosophy centers on nurturing the complete growth of our students, ensuring attention is given to their physical, emotional, social, and cognitive well-being. Our curriculum goes beyond the state of Texas’s academic requirements, offering a rich learning experience that incorporates lessons on emotional intelligence, social skills, respect, and empathy.

Our educational approach is characterized by its rigor and adaptability, offering students the autonomy to select topics within broader areas of studies that resonate with them, making learning more meaningful and engaging. This self-directed learning encourages students to reach new heights of achievement and fosters a sense of pride in their accomplishments. Moreover, our involvement in national programs like LifeSmarts enhances their understanding of consumer education, providing them with opportunities to compare their abilities with those of their peers across the country.

Our focus is on infusing our curriculum with a diverse array of cultural studies, bringing the world into our classrooms through an expansive exploration of different cultures, traditions, and global perspectives. This approach enriches our students’ learning experiences, fostering a deep appreciation for global diversity and preparing them to be culturally aware, informed citizens. By integrating these varied cultural elements, we aim to broaden our students’ understanding and respect for the world around them, enhancing their overall educational journey.

Educational Framework

Project Based Learning

Assignments are project-based and revolve around thematic units. Students are given the freedom to choose their topics and how they show evidence of mastery.

Grading

Focus is on portfolios, long-term projects and self-evaluation, not grades. Students will receive a final GPA based on a rubric and are expected to achieve “Mastery” of academic skills.

Real world experience

We learn by building relationships and getting involved in our community. Learning “real world skills” doesn’t happen in a book or in a classroom, it happens in the real world.

Cross-Curricular Learning

Reading, writing, math, science, social studies and more are intertwined and applied to current and historical events to achieve a deeper level of understanding.

testing

We don’t waste time preparing for and taking tests. Instead we focus on learning life skills. An end-of-year standardized assessment is available to inform families of academic growth.

Dual Credit

High School Students will have the opportunity to earn dual credit through Tarrant County College. Courses can be taken individually or as a class group to provide additional study support.

In the heart of transformative education lies the power of adaptation and growth. Our mission is to cultivate an educational environment where flexibility is the cornerstone, allowing teachers the freedom to innovate and adapt. By championing a system that supports dynamic teaching methods, we move beyond traditional textbooks, fostering a genuine love for learning among students.

Here at MidCities Montessori Academy we advocate for an educational framework that refuses to confine educators to rigid structures. Instead, it celebrates and enables a tailored approach to teaching. This not only ignites curiosity and creativity in students but also empowers teachers to guide their learners through an enriching journey of exploration and discovery.

Join us as we embrace change, encourage innovation, and witness the transformative power of education in shaping minds eager to learn, grow, and succeed. Together, we can redefine education as an exciting adventure, full of possibilities and endless curiosity.

LifeSmarts

Our high schoolers actively participate in LifeSmarts, a dynamic national competition designed to arm students with practical knowledge and skills for real-life consumer decision-making. Covering essential topics such as personal finance, health and safety, environmental awareness, technology, and consumer rights and responsibilities. LifeSmarts plays a crucial role in preparing youth for informed and savvy participation in the marketplace. Beyond the invaluable learning experience, LifeSmarts also presents students with opportunities to earn scholarship money, adding an extra layer of incentive and reward for their hard work and dedication. Our students have demonstrated exceptional understanding and application of these principles, proudly earning the title of four-time Texas state champions and securing a top ten finish at the national level in 2022. Their achievements in LifeSmarts underscore the comprehensive education they receive, preparing them to confidently address the challenges of today’s complex world.
