Enrichment Programs

“The role of education is to interest the child profoundly in an external activity to which he will give all his potential.”

– Dr. Maria Montessori

Our enrichment program offerings are carefully chosen and balanced in order to maintain an authentic Montessori environment that provides uninterrupted work-cycles.

Montessori Academy students are encouraged to pursue personal passions and discover new ones at every opportunity while exploring a variety of enrichments.

Visual & Performing Arts

MAB provides a rich environment that exposes students to a variety of artistic endeavors while also challenging them to continue to develop and perfect their unique talents.

We believe that creative self-expression has a profound effect on the intellectual growth of our students, and develops a standard of excellence and self-confidence that will positively impact all aspects of their lives. Whether it be flamenco, tap, jazz, salsa, ballet, or violin, there’s no shortage of outlets for soaring creativity.

STEM

STEM integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics into project-based learning that is hands-on and that inspires connections between disciplines.

The ultimate goal of STEM education is to prepare our young learners and help them “function and thrive in our highly technological age.” Through experiments, class discussions, and group work, STEM education at MAB encourages teamwork, application of knowledge, critical thinking, innovation, and resilience.

Spanish

This class is designed to teach children how to communicate effectively and acquire vocabulary in Spanish. This will be accomplished through didactic activities, storytelling, rhymes, and songs that will participate with great enthusiasm. These classes are offered to children of all ages.

The main focus is to have children learn how to introduce themselves, describing aspects of their lives and environment. Conversation, narration, and description will be practiced weekly.

Physical Education

The Montessori Academy Physical Education program aims to introduce all students to a wide range of sports and activities. The curriculum is designed to develop the student’s awareness and understanding of the underlying principles of games, skills, health, and fitness.

All students receive careful coaching from physical education teachers in all of the sports and activities offered in the department. Participation in this program promotes enjoyment from informed and skilled participation in both competitive and cooperative environments that will remain with them throughout their school and adult life.

I can honestly say that Montessori Academy has been able provide an excellent experience for each one of our 3 very different children. Our oldest is now taking honors classes at a college preparatory high school and scored in the 80th percentile overall on her PSAT, 87th percentile in reading and writing.

We could not be happier with the decision we made to keep our son at Montessori Academy and the investment we made in his education. He was challenged throughout the curriculum and received all the support he needed to graduate with a high academic standing and a deep sense of humanity.

I HIGHLY recommend Montessori Academy of Broward to anyone and everyone interested in giving the gift of a great all-around foundation to their kids. My daughter has thrived here not just academically, but emotionally as well. Montessori is not just a school—it's a family.

There are so many things I love about Montessori–from little things like EVERY teacher knowing EVERY child and their parents (and sometimes grandparents) by name to the safe, clean and professional learning environment they with all the tools they could want to prosper in their academic life, at their own pace.

Our son is now a happy young man who knows that he received the tools he needed to succeed and accomplish his dream of obtaining an academic scholarship at American Heritage High School. Not only did he get accepted into the honors program at an elite high school, but the rest of his graduating class did as well.
