Discover a cozy, nurturing school cottage campus in Buckhead where children, ages 12 months through Kindergarten, build an amazing foundation of curiosity, independence, and advanced academics.
"A hidden gem. We are amazed at the transformation of our little one."
— Karan, Current Parent
Between the ages of 1 and 6, a child's brain is naturally built to absorb their environment. It's the most critical time for laying the foundation of how they learn, socialize, and solve problems. Traditional daycare manages kids; authentic Montessori unleashes their potential.

Located in a peaceful Atlanta neighborhood, our school feels like an extension of home—warm, safe, and deeply personal, not institutional.

"Our experience at Carlisle Montessori School has been wonderful! We love the small size of the school and the warm, homey classrooms. Both of our children started at Carlisle as toddlers, and our oldest will soon be graduating."
"Now in his kindergarten year, he is doing division and fractions, and reading and writing independently. But more importantly, he is self-motivated, curious, and able to apply the skills he is learning at school to the daily world around him."
Our director, Gina Ward, has built Carlisle into a hidden gem within the Buckhead community. Her passion for the authentic Montessori philosophy is reflected in the careful design of every classroom and the exceptional quality of our teaching staff.
Staff stability is a hallmark of Carlisle, with teachers who have dedicated many years to the school, ensuring consistent, loving guidance for your child as they grow.
Choosing the right environment for your child is a big decision. Schedule a private tour to see the Carlisle difference in person.
