A Unique Learning Community

The Magnolia Schoolhouse offers a one-of-a-kind educational community where children benefit from small group learning in a beautifully designed Montessori environment. Our micro-school includes a thoughtfully curated Learner Library and a Parent Library, fostering an atmosphere of continuous growth for both students and their families.

We recognize that children thrive when given the opportunity to explore and learn at their own pace. By providing a structured yet flexible educational setting, we empower learners to develop independence, creativity, and a deep appreciation for knowledge. Our program is designed to offer the best of both worlds—combining the structure and social benefits of a school setting with the adaptability and personalization of homeschooling.

We emphasize the importance of living a natural life in accordance with nature, as well as protecting childhood and family. Our program is designed to support children having more time with their family, encouraging them to develop their family values and creating wonderful childhood memories. Parents are included in many of our events and activities, allowing for the perfect balance of an educational setting and homeschool.

Holistic Child Development

At The Magnolia Schoolhouse, we take a whole-child approach to education. We emphasize the importance of physical health, emotional well-being, and social connection alongside academic achievement. Our learners benefit from:

• A focus on nutrition, cooking organic meals and ample time to eat mindfully.
• Frequent outdoor learning experiences.
• A screen-free environment that encourages hands-on exploration.
• Social-emotional learning embedded into everyday activities.

Our goal is to ignite a lifelong passion for learning while cultivating resilience, confidence, and interpersonal skills, all while learning how to live a natural lifestyle. We believe that children flourish when they feel safe, supported, and inspired.

Academics and Skill-Building

We utilize a full AMI Montessori Curriculum, integrating methods of natural living and project-based learning. Our program is built on the foundation of core academic subjects, enriched with hands-on activities and life skills that prepare learners for real-world success.

Mathematics: We start with foundational number recognition and progress through advanced concepts such as algebra and geometry, ensuring each child moves at their own pace. Topics include measurement, money management, and problem-solving strategies that encourage mathematical confidence.

Language Arts: We take a comprehensive approach to language development, incorporating phonics, reading comprehension, creative writing, and structured composition. Book clubs, storytelling projects, and interactive writing assignments inspire a love for literature and communication.

Science: Our hands-on approach to science covers diverse topics, including earth science, chemistry, physics, biology, and botany. Learners engage in experiments, demonstrations, and projects that cultivate critical thinking and scientific inquiry.

History and Social Studies:

• American History: Taught through civics, students experience our government system firsthand by participating in mock trials, elections, and legislative sessions.
• Global Studies: We navigate the world through cultural explorations, geography, traditions, and positive historical contributions, encouraging a love of culture and humanity.

Social and Emotional Learning: Character development is at the heart of our program. We focus on leadership, gratitude, empathy, and problem-solving through discussions, activities, and real-world applications. While we do not teach religion, we explore world beliefs as part of cultural education, ensuring inclusivity for all families.

Real-World Learning Opportunities

We believe in experiential learning that extends beyond the classroom. Our learners participate in:

• Entrepreneurial endeavors, including pop-up restaurants, markets, and business ventures.
• Community engagement, with projects that foster civic responsibility and leadership.
• Specialized workshops, such as cooking, chess, music, drama, and survival skills.

Weekly workshops with local experts enrich the learning experience, allowing students to develop specialized skills in a variety of disciplines.

A Balanced Approach to Education

Our program operates Monday through Thursday from 9 AM to 3 PM, allowing families more quality time together while maintaining a structured educational experience. Fridays are open for additional enrichment opportunities hosted by our Educators . We do not assign homework, opting instead for in-class learning and hands-on experiences that build mastery organically.

Assessment is personalized and growth focused. Rather than traditional grading, we provide quarterly reports detailing each child’s progress in math and language, along with recommendations for continued learning at home.  (Please note that, at this time, we do not have the capacity to serve Learners who have a diagnosis or require additional support or behavioral management.)
