Mission Montessori Academy’s Story

Educators have the ability to inspire students to think beyond their school walls, and Mission Montessori Academy has made that their mission.

The K-8 charter school in Scottsdale provides a global education, even sending students to New York City, Chile and China to attend conferences and discuss methods for conserving resources and protecting the environment.

Emboldened by their teachers, a group of seventh-graders have taken a local approach to solving problems and raising awareness of these issues, hoping to change the lives of their community for generations to come.

The students have created their own Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) dedicated to creating a more sustainable environment and helping to influence the lives of those in their communities.

Here are their stories featured on the Arizona Charter Website.  CLICK TO READ FULL ARTICLE
