Four developmental stages, from 18 months through Grade 8.
Each program builds intentionally upon the last, guided by Montessori-trained educators in multi-age classrooms designed around every child's natural pace of development.
From eighteen months to Grade 8, on one campus.
What every AIA program shares.
The age groups and academic content change, but the experience underneath stays the same: hands-on, self-paced, and deeply personal.
Montessori-Trained Guides
Every classroom is led by trained teachers who observe, follow, and support each child's individual pace of development.
Multi-Age Communities
Children learn alongside peers older and younger than themselves, mentoring and being mentored in turn.
Uninterrupted Work Cycles
Extended blocks of time let children choose meaningful work, concentrate deeply, and finish what they start.
Real-World Connections
From practical life skills to field studies, learning is grounded in the world children actually live in.
Pre-Primary
Where independence begins.Montessori-trained teachers guide our youngest learners toward growing independence through purposeful movement, language, and practical life experiences.

Explore Middle School
Spanish begins early, and becomes daily in Kindergarten.
Spanish is introduced at Pre-Primary and becomes part of the daily student experience starting in Kindergarten, continuing through Elementary and Middle School. Through conversation, literacy, music, and cultural study, students build practical communication skills alongside their academic Montessori work.
Explore the Spanish ProgramEvery stage builds on the one before.
Montessori's multi-year cycles give children time to build deep understanding, confidence, and independence, progressing from learner to leader within their classroom community, before stepping confidently into what comes next. A child who begins at 18 months and stays through Grade 8 experiences continuity in educational philosophy, relationships, and community while entering thoughtfully prepared environments for each new developmental stage.
By the time students leave AIA, they carry forward more than academic preparation: genuine independence, comfort with people different from themselves, and the confidence that comes from being known well by teachers and peers over many years.
More than academics.
By the time an AIA student moves on, whether after Pre-Primary or after Grade 8, they carry forward habits and character that serve them well beyond our campus.
