History
Arbor Montessori School was founded in 1970. The school was originally called Montessori Child Development Center. In 1976, an elementary program was added to the primary program. The school's name was changed to Arbor Montessori School in 1987 when the Lavista building was built because of the beautiful wooded campus. In 1997 the Adolescent Program (middle school) was started. 2014 marked the inauguration of our first toddler class. Arbor Montessori is one of only three schools in the metro area to provide a Montessori education from toddler through adolescence. Our new campus at 1434 Scott Blvd. in Decatur opened in August 2016. Arbor serves 270 students. The school offers two toddler classes (ages 18 months to 3 years), four primary classes (ages 2.5 to 6 years), three lower elementary classes (ages 6 to 9 years), two upper elementary classes (ages 9 to 12 years), and one Adolescent Program (ages 12 to 14 years).
