Academic Program
At La Maison Academy, we believe that every child is unique, which is why our curriculum is thoughtfully tailored to meet the individual needs and interests of each student. Combining the best of Montessori and Waldorf educational philosophies, our program nurtures academic, emotional, and creative growth through hands-on learning, cultural immersion, and artistic expression.
Report Card
To keep parents engaged and informed, we provide weekly reports highlighting each child’s progress, milestones, and memorable moments from their learning journey. These written updates serve as a keepsake of your child’s growth while ensuring a strong partnership between home and school. With small class sizes and personalized attention, we prepare children for a confident and seamless transition to kindergarten and beyond.
