The Knoxville Montessori School serves approximately 80 students between two-and-a-half and 15 years of age at its Kingston Pike campus on the edge of Knoxville, Tennessee’s Marble City neighborhood.
The private school follows the Montessori education philosophy, which allows students to work at their own pace while deciding what areas to explore at any given time. The school is accredited by the International Montessori Council, and is also part of the East Tennessee Montessori Alliance.
Classrooms at Knoxville Montessori School and determined by age. All students learn in three-year cycles, meaning a student who enters at two-and-a-half or three years old is in class with students up to age six. At six, students are ready to move to the lower elementary classroom where their peers are up to nine years old. Upper elementary includes nine to 12-year-olds, and middle school consists of students from 12 to 15 years old.
Students have the opportunity to learn about a variety of subjects, including art, music and foreign language. In addition, Knoxville Montessori School offers after-school care and summer camp to students who are already enrolled.
Admission is ongoing as long as space permits. A scholarship fund that can cover up to 50% of tuition is available to make Montessori education available to students from various socioeconomic backgrounds. From its creative approach to flexible year-round programs, Knoxville Montessori sees every student as unique.

Our experience at KMS has been great. We have been involved with several Montessori programs in the area and KMS stands out among the rest for its well-educated, compassionate, and attentive teaching staff, wonderful location, and dedicated administration.

This is a very horrible place. My daughter got bullied for long time. Teacher is terrible too, and the administration staff. That whole semester was nightmare for my daughter. The worst place in the world.

I have two sons. The oldest started at KMS when he was 2 and left at the end of 5th grade. My youngest is a third grader still at KMS. They have done wonderfully socially and academically. Now that my older son is in middle school, I can see what a great education he has received from KMS.
