I can not recommend MAoJ enough! When relocating to Jackson, I was considering daycare, traditional early childhood education or Montessori. After touring the school and learning more about the Montessori method, we enrolled our child into the Redbud class. We were drawn to the emphasis on fostering a child's natural curiosity, use of natural materials, and inclusion of practical work in the curriculum. To say it was one of our best decisions is a massive understatement! Our child is thriving. He is more confident and takes such pride when he accomplishes \his difficult works.\ The school communicates daily with parents via an app, giving updates on progress and giving this parent a talking point for dinner conversation. 4 years olds aren't always the best at remembering what they did during the day and having a talking point to guide him allows us to fully engage. The school also holds quarterly parent connections, allowing us to build relationships and learn more about our child's current and future curriculum. I am excited to continue to see our child's growth and know he will be exceptionally prepared for any academic path he takes in the future.

My two children have had a wonderful experience at this school! The warm community supports the children and their families in all aspects of growth. The children are learning how to be independent, caring citizens. This transfers into their academic learning. The school celebrates all cultures and backgrounds and we always look forward to the school events. The director, Joyce, has worked closely with our family for years to develop the best ways to help our children. Every teacher has been open to discussion with us and I have full confidence that they have our children's best interests in mind.

The MAoJ community has provided my children with the education I longed for - academic excellence, personal kindness, and an awareness of the rich tapestry of the world in culture, community and materials. Joyce Moxley has led the community with grace and an incredible vision for an education that truly leads to a brighter, more peaceful and more amazing future.

Both my daughter and my son attend the academy and I have nothing but amazing things to say. During their time, the exceptional teachers and administrators have fostered my children’s independence and given them a true sense of self through love, encouragement and the belief that every child is different. They communicate honestly with me and I never am concerned about my children while in their care. They encourage my children to use their words, to explore their passions and never be scared to try new things. They lead the children with so much love and honesty. My children come home everyday proud of what they have done at the Academy. There is a true community and the teachers at the school are truly the most amazing women that enrich my family’s life.

I called to inquire as to whether there was any open spots for a five-year-old to begin the Montessori program. I was told they prefer a child to start the Montessori way of learning at age 3. I have no issue with that. My issue is that the lady on the phone stated that they could potentially have or make an opening for a child if it was a girl and they had some Montessori experience. However since I have a boy she would not consider it because her class is already boy heavy. I did not get a chance to explain that my child has had a different style of learning as we are not from Jackson And we are looking for aschool that can match the curriculum that he is used to, which is very hard to find here in Jackson Mississippi. I was basically told best of luck and thanks for calling after of which I just basically hung up. This school is not open to teaching anybody new the Montessori style of learning. They are not open to exposing the Montessori story style of learning. They are only willing to expose individuals who already know about the style of learning. Thus they are not open to expanding their school and anyone else to the benefits of the Montessori style of learning unless you are already within the group of people who already knows about the Montessori style of learning. Good luck to anyone looking for better for their child here in Jackson Mississippi because the options are few and far between, and it is definitely not at The Montessori Academy of Jackson.I thought this school would be a great fit for my child but apparently since he is not already in the click and a boy, he is not fit for their school.
