Welcome to
Triangle Montessori Academy
Promoting independent thinking in a peaceful and safe environment.
At Triangle Montessori Academy (TMA), we proudly offer authentic Montessori education grounded in the observations, methods, and philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori. Since 2008, TMA has been a private Montessori school located in the heart of downtown Cary. We educate children from toddlers through upper elementary. TMA is a member of the American Montessori Society (AMS) and all of our teachers are AMS certified.
Montessori education offers children the opportunity to develop their potential as they step out into the world as independent, self-motivated, and considerate global citizens. Our students have an understanding and appreciation that learning is for life.
Authentic Montessori Schooling
Our goal is to foster a peaceful and safe environment based on mutual respect, where children can explore, discover and learn. Read about Your Child’s Journey at TMA.

Our Programs
Triangle Montessori Academy accepts all applications without regard to gender, color, race, ethnic or national origin.
Toddler Program
Ages: 18-36 months
Montessori Toddler programs offer so much more than a traditional childcare. The classroom design fosters your young child’s emerging independence and desire for exploration. In this program, toddlers are introduced to the beginning lessons of our Primary Program making the transition seamless.
Primary Program
Ages: 3-6 years
When the students enter the Primary Program they continue building upon the independence they began in the Toddler Program. Over the next 3 years, the students focus on Grace and Courtesy, and are are introduced to the 5 areas in the Montessori classroom: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Cultural, and Language.
Lower & Upper Elementary
Lower Elementary: 6-9 years | Upper Elementary: 9-12 years
What sets Montessori apart in the Elementary years is the individually paced curriculum that challenges children academically. Students also participate in organizing the classroom expectations, creating their own code of conduct, being mentors and volunteering in the school and local community. Our goal is to reaffirm to the students, the skills and lessons they are learning in the classroom are purposeful and easily translate to life outside of the classroom.
Enrichment Programs
During the school day, children participate in Yoga and Spanish classes. In addition, all TMA students are part of our cultural cooking curriculum. In celebration of the country they are studying, toddlers will taste fruits or vegetables and older students will prepare a meal to enjoy in their classroom. We often grow and harvest our own ingredients as part of our cooking curriculum.
We also offer opportunities for after school enrichment programs such as: Kidokinetics, golf, tennis, art, soccer, and music. These are rotating programs and offered as available.
