As the first public Montessori school in Georgia, the academy is dedicated to providing students from kindergarten to eighth grade with a hands-on education that follows their interests and strengths.

The gorgeous campus is located in the heart of the Ardsley Park neighborhood and holds historical value throughout the community.
With historic homes and large oak trees surrounding the school, students and teachers have beautiful views outside the classroom windows. Students at the academy typically test on par with the state average and take pride in joining extracurricular activities.
The school boasts a competitive athletic program, offering sports like volleyball, basketball, soccer, swimming, cross-country and more. Pupils at Ellis Montessori take pride in being Bobcats, and many students attend sporting events to cheer on their classmates.
Between the academic success, athletic opportunities and stunning landscaping, Charles Ellis Montessori Academy is highly regarded around the Savannah area.
