Hours: 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m.
Since 1967, Spring Bilingual Montessori Academy (SBMA) has
protected and encouraged children, and at the same time challenged
and stretched them to the limits of their intellect and imaginations.
Children arrive at SBMA as two year olds, barely out of diapers, and
leave after kindergarten at the age of six: confident, assured and well-
educated, possessing qualities of mind and character which serve
them well as they continue to learn and achieve. Within the walls
of our school children become literate and numerate. They develop
pride in their own accomplishments and respect for the talents of
their classmates. This is, above all, where children learn how it feels
to do one’s best work, and to have the effort as well as the product
recognized and celebrated.
