Montessori academy to open in Greystone this fall

Stonecreek Montessori Academy, billed as Birmingham’s only non-religious-affiliated private school that offers high school education, is scheduled to welcome students this fall to its new campus in Greystone.

The school, according to a release by Executive Director Dr. Melinda Bray, will be situated on a 13-acre campus. It is slated to offer a wide array of electives such as computer programming, civics and citizenship and entrepreneurship.

For physical education, students will have group lessons in soccer and disc golf, as well as the option to register for seminars in various disciplines like tennis, fencing and martial arts. Extracurricular activities will include dance and robotics.

“The school will be a wonderful choice for parents who desire their children to flourish in their ability to think critically and creatively, work cooperatively and independently, and respect themselves others, and the environment,” Bray said.

Stonecreek Montessori will be located on Cahaba Valley Road (Highway 119), just east of U.S. 280 near the Brook Highland and Greystone neighborhoods. It is currently accepting applications for Fall 2013. For more, visit stonecreekmontessori.org.
