What's happening
Balancing educational innovation with a truly individualized approach, Montessori Academy of Broward offers more than a strong academic foundation as it creates the conditions for each child to unlock their unique potential. Rooted in the century-old vision of Dr. Maria Montessori, learning is child-centered and developmentally tailored, guided by the belief that every child holds powerful potential that only they can fully realize.
Within thoughtfully prepared environments, students move with purpose, explore at their own pace, and build independence, curiosity, and confidence from Early Childhood through Middle School.
Once considered an educational experiment, the Montessori method has become the blueprint for a new approach to learning - one that’s demonstrating long-term success. Each child reaches their fullest potential in all areas of life and grow up in a secure, loving, and joyful learning environment.
At our private school in Pembroke Pines, we strive towards these goals by utilizing several key points of Maria Montessori’s philosophy:
Children are inherently good and, when allowed to develop freely, they feel connected to everything and are naturally caring to each other and the world around them.
With an emphasis on building independence, learning is individualized, allowing children to progress at their own pace based on those sensitive periods when learning comes easy, according to Dr. Montessori's research.
Our Montessori-certified teachers are trained to identify these very creative periods, and when recognized, they introduce concepts to optimize learning giving children the freedom to follow their interests.
Students learn to manage freedom responsibly, develop independence and self-discipline, and acquire the skills to answer their questions through curiosity-driven, self-directed learning.
The aware adult, whether a parent or teacher, acts as an observer, protects the child’s right to learn, models desired behavior, prepares the environment, and also accommodates the needs of the child. In the classroom setting, the adult is neither simply the central authority nor “imparter of knowledge”.
At Montessori Academy of Broward in Pembroke Pines, children build on their physical experiences of the world through their senses. Carefully designed Montessori materials spark curiosity and encourage mastery with continuous practice that refines skills and learners advance at their own pace. Progression is structured yet flexible.
The classroom is intentionally designed to promote independence, with materials accessible for self-selected work, building confidence and responsibility in an environment tailored to their developmental needs.
Children are at their happiest when they are busily involved in a process. They are natural learners who want to constantly explore the world if left to follow their instincts.
Mixed-age classrooms until Lower School foster peer teaching, collaborative projects, and social responsibility, balancing freedom with natural consequences to build internal discipline.
The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.

Visual & performing arts
MAB immerses students in a vibrant arts program that both nurtures creativity and challenges them to refine their unique talents. Through dance styles like flamenco, tap, jazz, salsa, and ballet, as well as violin, students grow in focus, discipline, and self‑confidence, fueling intellectual growth and setting a standard of excellence that carries into every area of life.
STEM
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics are integrated into hands-on, project-based learning that helps students see real connections between disciplines. Through experiments, class discussions, and collaborative projects, children practice applying knowledge, thinking critically, and solving problems in creative ways. The ultimate goal is to prepare them to function and thrive in a highly technological age.
Spanish
Children build practical Spanish communication skills and vocabulary using storytelling, rhymes, songs, and interactive games. They learn to introduce themselves and describe their daily lives and surroundings. Each week, they practice conversation, narration, and description in a fun, supportive environment that encourages confidence, clear expression.
Physical education
PE introduces students to a wide range of sports and activities while building a strong foundation in skills, games, health, and fitness. Through careful coaching from specialist teachers, learners learn key movement techniques and game strategies, gaining confidence in both competitive and cooperative settings.
Life skills

Learners work towards one of the great tasks in life. In order to discipline themselves, they must have the freedom to make choices. This freedom allows all our students to develop self-discipline.
Creative
Children free their creativity as it's the creative mind that allows them to think, analyze, invent, seek different answers and solve problems with innovative ideas and solutions.
Organized
Montessori students learn the concept of time management at an early age, an essential skill that supports them in becoming successful throughout life.
Collaborative
The multi-age classroom allows students to learn to collaborate with their peers and Montessorians help each other in academic, social, and emotional tasks as they're given the tools to help, collaborate, and develop resolution.
A leader
Montessori graduates grow confidence and develop an essential level of responsibility and high self-esteem. They build the problem-solving and leadership skills needed to become our future leaders.
