Four Corners Montessori Academy was authorized by Oakland University in January 2008 to provide a Montessori-based program for students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.
Four Corners Montessori Academy has a long-standing commitment to providing students with an authentic, high-quality Montessori education. Since becoming a Michigan public school academy, FCMA has remained dedicated to making the benefits of the Montessori Method accessible to all families through a tuition-free public school option.
FCMA’s experienced staff includes seasoned Montessori educators, many of whom have served the school community for years. Together, they provide a learning environment centered on independence, curiosity, hands-on discovery, and respect for each child’s individual development. Today, FCMA continues to build on its strong Montessori foundation while serving students and families throughout the community.
Four Corners Montessori Academy provides all children with the opportunities and resources to achieve academic success.
Teachers and administration are thoroughly trained in the Montessori Method and are committed to the Montessori education of every child. The curriculum is challenging, yet allows each student the change to learn through self-directed pace and individual style.
FCMA recognizes that complete success cannot be achieved without the support and partnership of families. Teachers, parents, and staff work as a team to develop the path the student will take. Parents are encouraged to participate in the classroom and are a vital component in all school activities, as well as in creating a safe learning environment for all.
Our school is based on the Montessori Philosophy:
- Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals who are different from one another.
- Children create themselves through purposeful activity.
- We must nurture the whole child and not just teach a body of knowledge.
- Students learn through exposure to many resources and through hands-on activities.
