Whole-Child Learning Rooted in Truth, Beauty, and Purpose
In addition to our resonant Montessori curriculum, Grace Montessori Academy offers a rich variety of enrichment and extracurricular programs that nurture the whole child — body, mind, and spirit.

Peacemakers Program
We use the Young Peacemaker’s Curriculum to teach students how to resolve conflict biblically and respectfully.
The “Peace Table” is a sacred space for guided conflict resolution
Children learn confession, repentance, and restoration
Based on Luke 6:31: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.”
As students mature, they manage peacemaking independently
Teachers follow up to affirm, reflect, and support
