Education is the process by which an individual is encouraged and enabled to fully develop his or her potential; it may also serve the purpose of equipping the individual with what is necessary to be a productive member of society. Through teaching and learning the individual acquires and develops knowledge and skills.

Our Mission
The Richardson Montessori Academy provides a well-rounded education by addressing the academic, social, emotional, physical and moral needs of each child. The Montessori curriculum fosters independence, self-motivation, responsible decision-making and respect for self and others. The student's education is individualized and responsive to each child's potential. The result is an enduring love of learning. We continually encourage intellectual curiosity and self-confidence thereby preparing our students for future educational and life experiences and for their effective roles in the world. Our mission encompasses moral values and behavior as well as academic performance.

Our Vision
The Richardson Montessori Academy offers a college preparatory program that is essentially different from those of most traditional schools. There is a clear connection between one's sense of self, of being fully alive and open to new ideas and experiences, and ability to learn. Teaching is not something that one can do to another. We can only facilitate the natural process of learning.
