Dear Prospective Montessori Family,

Thank you for your interest in The Montessori School of Fort Smith.  We have been serving the Fort Smith community for over 40 years and take great pride in the school's excellent educational environment. Our talented faculty, nurturing environment, and commitment to the Montessori method of education make us the school of choice for many families in the Fort Smith area. We offer consistent, quality education for children from 3 to 12 years of age.

Montessori students are confident, competent learners who are intrinsically motivated. They are academically prepared, creative, and able to communicate orally, in writing, and technologically. Our educational community has developed goals for our students to achieve in the process of their education, and an analysis of data indicates that our students are able to compete on a national level academically. Our students learn far more than the required Arkansas or Oklahoma curricular benchmarks. Montessori students are well prepared for the next phase in their lives.

Take time to explore our website where you will find additional information about our school and the Montessori method of education. Then, I encourage you to call our office to make an appointment to tour our campus and visit a classroom. Visiting a Montessori classroom is an experience you will never forget. It's important for you to see firsthand how engaged our students are in the learning process and how much they enjoy experiencing new things.

It's not my job to "sell" Montessori. My job is to help you find the right school for your child. I look forward to helping you do just that.

Sincerely,

Dr. Dustin L. Dooly

Head of School
