OUR ACCREDITATIONS
We hold accreditation from two respected organizations:
SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS (SAIS)
SAIS is the largest regional independent school association in the country, and its accreditation reflects a commitment to rigorous, continuous school improvement.
COGNIA
Cognia's performance standards center on continuous improvement, defining what a strong educational institution looks like and guiding schools as they grow their learners, teachers, and leaders.
AN AMERICAN MONTESSORI SOCIETY VERIFIED SCHOOL
We are also an American Montessori Society Verified School. This status confirms that we uphold the five core components of an authentic Montessori education:
Montessori-trained teachers
The multi-age classroom
Use of Montessori materials
Child-directed work
Uninterrupted work periods
WHAT ACCREDITATION MEANS FOR YOUR FAMILY
Accreditation offers families an important measure of assurance. It reflects an independent evaluation of our program, faculty, and instructional practices, confirming that MSH meets rigorous standards for both authentic Montessori education and academic excellence. It also helps families distinguish between schools that use the Montessori name and those that are formally recognized for implementing the approach with fidelity.
