As parents, we want what is best for our child, but we had the feeling we failed him. He wasn’t thriving at this school either. It made us question, “Did we make the right choice”? “Would he ever see the potential we see in him”? “Will he ever feel confident and know how smart he is”?

It's January 2, 2024. Quick show of hands: how many of us have already faltered on our New Year’s Resolutions? It’s okay; we can help.

What do multi-age studios and a one-room schoolhouse vibe really contribute to our learners? There is the obvious and the more subtle. As a guide, I am privileged to witness all kinds of amazing interactions on a daily basis. If you have more than one child you may know some of what I am referring to. I fear the beauty of all these ages working together is more complex than I may be able to express here, but I am going to try.

This Tuesday will mark one month that I have been serving as a guide at Chisholm Creek Academy and it has been a ride.

Our learners are starting to settle into a routine, which means I can sit down and try to accomplish one or two things off my ever-compounding to-do list, but I'm distracted by all the laughter coming out of the studios.

The scene unfolded just like a building revolution in a movie.

With fewer learners in each studio, guides are able to provide more personalized feedback and support to each child.

Imagine you're on a treasure hunt, and you have a map with a clue on it. But the clue is in code, and you need to figure out what it means. So, you ask a series of questions to help you decode the message and find the treasure.

Quests are important (and fun!) because they require everyone to use their unique skills and talents to solve problems.

DEAR time is a special time set aside each day where we put down our pencils, turn off our screens, and dive into a good book.

Are you looking for a better educational model for your child? Have you heard of Montessori learning, but you're not sure if it’s the best fit? Or are you loving it and just need to find the right Edmond – OKC area Montessori school? We welcome you to Chisholm Creek Academy…

To put it simply, we are not satisfied with the level of education that is currently offered for children on either the public or private level.
