Our
Curriculum
Our students learn through hands-on experiences and activities with our specialized classroom set-up. In the separate sensory, math, language and home areas, children master foundational skills at their own pace. New concepts are introduced through circle time and group activities.

Who We Are
Who We Are
Montessori Torah Academy of Louisville is part of a wave of new Jewish Montessori schools opening across the country.
The Judaic staff at Montessori Torah Academy are trained by the esteemed Brocha Baum Margolese of Darchei Noam Montessori in Baltimore, MD, with continuing mentorship provided by Rob Keys, certified American Montessori Society instructor.
The application of Torah principles to the Montessori method is inspired by Rabbi Jonathan Rietti’s “Al Pi Darko” model which serves as a prototype for Jewish Montessori schools across the country.
