Goal
Lotus Montessori Academy is a small nonprofit independent school located in Quincy, MA. Lotus Montessori Academy is an educational institution offering a school program for children ranging from 2.9 years to 9 years of age in an atmosphere dedicated to fostering love, care and mutual respect for one another while stimulating excellence in academic, artistic and aesthetic pursuits. We work with our neighboring communities to practice Montessori principles in the classroom and in the world. Through collective accountability, mutual trust, and understanding, we hope to create an environment for our children, families, and teachers to continually develop and express our fullest potentials.
We believe educational opportunities should be available to families regardless of financial means so we aim to create sustainable pathways that provide 30% of our students with tuition assistance based on financial need. We appreciate your donation as we strive to provide a quality Montessori education and because we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit, your contribution is tax deductible.
Your gift nurtures our beautiful, child-centered learning environment — a school that provide a one-of-a-kind learning opportunity to a diverse mix of families. To enhance these learning experiences, we weave music, dance, and visual arts into the fabric of every day. Children learn about great artists and composers. They sing, dance, play instruments, and create their own works of art. All students from 2.9 to 9 receive violin lessons as part of the core curriculum.
There are many cities and towns in our state that provide scholarships for low income students which allows the family to choose a school they feel is best suited for their families. Unfortunately, Quincy is not one of those cities and frequently children from families below the poverty line are forced to remain in overcrowded underperforming public schools. It has been proven that Montessori levels the playing field for students of color, low income families, as well as children with learning differences who are frequently lost in the larger classroom environments.

We are certain that the program we offer provides children with everything they will need to grow as self-motivated, intellectually engaged learners who will serve their larger communities as both accomplished students and ambassadors of peace.
