About Our Schools
Pflugerville Montessori School is part of one of the largest and oldest families of Montessori schools in Greater North Austin. Our other schools include the well-known Cedar Park Montessori School (since 1997) and Sapientia Montessori (since 2008), both of which have distinguished themselves educationally and in the broader community. Consequently, we are the leading choice for Montessori and advanced preschool and elementary education in Central Texas.
Our unique educational environment spans the Toddler, Preschool, and Kindergarten stages.
Pflugerville Montessori and its family of Montessori schools are AMI-Recognized by the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and by its US affiliate, AMI-USA — the world’s most prominent Montessori distinction. Many of our teachers have advanced degrees in child-related disciplines and all are carefully selected according to their nurturing natures, personal integrity, and professional credentials.
For more than thirty-five years, our schools have maintained the highest standards of care, development, and education of the whole child. The soundness of our deeply rooted socio-academic programs has inculcated in our children a singular love of learning.
Philosophy
The basic principle in the Montessori Philosophy of education is that every child carries within his/her self-potentialities of a person that he/she can become. The Life Force that is there is hidden in every young child to develop his/her intellectual, physical, and spiritual powers to the fullest. The Pflugerville Montessori School is established to assist those children entrusted to its care to help become that unique human being . . . for the benefit of their own personal development . . . and for the good of the local and global society in which one day they will be involved with.
