Our Story & Standards
Sapientia Montessori School is part of the oldest family of Montessori schools in Cedar Park, Texas. For nearly four decades, we have served the communities of Greater North and Northwest Austin, including Williamson County, Cedar Park, Leander, Georgetown, Round Rock and Pflugerville. Our other schools include the renowned Cedar Park Montessori (since 1997) and Pflugerville Montessori (since 1987) - both enjoying many community and educational accolades - recognizing us as a premier choice for Montessori, advanced preschool and elementary education. Our directors and lead teachers are AMI-certified, and everyone in our community is chosen with utmost regard for personal qualities and professional qualifications.
Why Montessori?
The Montessori Method of Education is a world-renowned, scientifically-based, educational approach that enables children to achieve their full inherent potential: Physically, socially, emotionally and academically. Montessori education is individualized and adapts to the needs and readiness of each child, resulting in a peaceful and rewarding experience that ultimately elicits the love for learning. Multi-aged classrooms develop a strong sense of responsibility, respect, and leadership for the environment that surrounds us. Thus, it is not surprising that Montessori children grow into happy, self-motivated beings, whose natural self-confidence and mastery of the concepts yields personal and academic excellence.

The Sapientia Montessori Difference
Since 1987, we have served the North Texas community as a family-owned facility by establishing the highest standards for the care, development and education of children. As part of a larger family, including the well-known Pflugerville and Cedar Park Montessori Schools, we are dedicated to creating an environment for students to grow and flourish.
One of our greatest achievements is that the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) gave us the highest Montessori accreditation, which only 250 out of 4,000 Montessori schools in the United States possess. This acknowledgment gives us the unique ability to provide an authentic Montessori experience and assures parents their children's education meets the highest learning standards.
At Sapientia Montessori, we choose our teachers with the greatest attention to their professional qualifications and personal characteristics, and we ensure they are certified by official Montessori standards.
Our teachers' rigorous training focuses on child developmental psychology, classroom observation, practice teaching and material preparation. This training teaches our teaching professionals to focus on each child individually and nurture their innate skills and abilities, helping them reach their full potential. Many of our teachers also hold advanced degrees in child-related fields.
