Montessori Bilingual Academy of Rockledge
We are a Montessori School, serving children in the Space Coast area with a Dual-Language Immersion Program. We accept children ranging from 12 months to 9 years of age.
Our curriculum and classrooms are specifically developed to gather the interest of each child, motivate them to complete and master their work. Our classrooms are fully equipped with Montessori Materials which allows each child to develop basic problem solving and observational techniques. Soon the child will begin manipulating the materials to allow the child to obtain concrete knowledge and gradually work towards comprehending abstract concepts.
By providing an environment where the child feels encouraged to learn and explore, we are “freeing the child’s potential”. It has become one of the most important recognitions of Dr. Montessori and has been supported by a multitude of studies in early education. Our classrooms are equipped with specially designed and sequenced materials which Dr. Montessori devised to flourish the child’s potential.
These materials, together with highly trained teachers and administrators, provide a classroom where the child is stimulated and challenged but never pressured. It allows the child to develop a sense of security and provides a learning atmosphere where they can continue to wonder, explore and succeed.
Our Educators
The role of the Montessori Educator differs considerably from that of a traditional teacher.
The teachers:
- Observe and assist the child according to the child’s individual needs and interest.
- Recognize periods of readiness and to demonstrate the correct use of the material to the children.
- Reinforce in a positive manner.
- Encourage a hesitant child when necessary.
- Divert a child who chooses material beyond his/her ability when necessary.
- Protect the child’s integrity and allows the child to have the freedom of choice to make decisions. The child’s decisions are expected to reflect a sense of responsibility. He/She is helped by the Educator who is firm and consistent, yet patient and gentle.
- Provide an atmosphere of caring, compassion and trust between teacher and pupil.
Our Mission
To provide a nurturing, loving and caring environment, where each child can learn to overcome any obstacle in life academically and socially. We strive for children to learn who they are as individuals, accept the person who they are meant to be, as they strive to fin their place in the world.
Our Vision
To educate and support each individual child in reaching their full potential and inspiring a passion for learning. The overall goal is to provide an environment that meets the needs of the child. We encourage the child to develop a life-long love of learning, indulge a natural sense of curiosity, and become a self-disciplined and self-motivated student. We want our children to learn and show the outermost respect and courtesy to themselves and other individuals. We aim for our students to be accepted culturally, physically, and emotionally by others.
Core Values and Beliefs
- Follow the Montessori Method of education, which is scientifically based and provides the key opportunities for development during a child’s Sensitive Periods, Planes of Development, as written by Dr. Maria Montessori.
- Our authentic Montessori prepared environments are developmentally appropriate by having mixed-age groups, allow students freedom of choice, uninterrupted work periods, absence of rewards and punishments, individualized instructions for each individual child, and provide hands-on learning materials.
- Diversity is accepted and every individual is welcomed, treated with dignity, and supported throughout their educational journey.
- Teach all students to be respectful of others, the environment, and oneself, which allows for a safe space: emotionally, physically and intellectually.
- To help students with learning differences, might require a specialized learning plan in addition to the Montessori Curriculum.
- To care for the child in the Montessori Environment, adults must model appropriate behavior which will create an orderly, peaceful, and nature environment for the child.
- Children learn best when working independently, and exhibit concentration without adult interference.
- The child must be supported in their physical, social, intellectual and emotional needs. The presence of the educators will offer kindness, empathy, and opportunities for optimal growth that are individualized to each child’s needs.
- The educators will continue to provide each child with empathy, trust, and consistent guidelines. This will allow the child to gain emotional self-awareness and discipline. Leading to well-rounded individuals and inner peace.
- Joy in learning, motivation, self-determination and curiosity is established by freedom of choice.
- To teach a child how to resolve conflicts. Learn to have self-control both physically and emotionally. Learn to respect others thoughts, feelings and beliefs, and understand how to communicate one’s feelings and needs.

“Very impressed with the program offered for my 4-year-old child. The curriculum stays true to the principles of Montessori and the teacher creates individualized work for each student to complete along with group lessons, art, and science projects. I would highly recommend this school!”

“best school around …the techniques used for my child are unique to his learning ability and go unmatched compared to the teaching styles used in other public and private schools. I’ve tried them with my child and he struggled so much but after reading into and researching the Montessori method, and enrolling him, my child has excelled. Also living in FL Im not bilingual and this state has great diversity so him learning a second language at his age is such a plus!!! Five stars…I would recommend to anyone who cares about their child’s education and future”
