"The International Montessori Academy of Wilmington is an invaluable resource to children, parents and the community. The school is sensitive to the needs of each individual child, as well as each individual family."
- Primary Program Parent"Education is a natural process carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words, but by experiences in the environment."
- Maria Montessori"We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being."
