April is Autism Acceptance Month 💜

At Forbes Academy, we don’t believe in one “right” way to learn.

We believe in meeting children where they are and helping them grow from there.

Inclusion lives in our classrooms every day.

This small shelf might look simple, but it holds one of the defining features of the AMI approach to Montessori mathematics. Inside are blank slips, graph paper in many sizes, and materials for making arithmetic books, tools that invite originality and creativity in mathematics.

In AMI classrooms, we offer abundant blank paper types so that the child can design, record, and express mathematical thought in their own way. Instead of completing pre-set worksheets or even hundreds of pre-made task cards of curriculum, the role of the Guide is to further children's ability to create their own pages, following the natural flow of discovery built into the materials. This freedom fosters precision, creativity, and a sense of ownership over their work.

It’s a startling difference, as compared to other approaches. The child is not filling in someone else’s pattern; they’re building their own. On the other hand, it requires a high level of mastery and observation from the Guide, requiring this depth of preparation in training.

This is an element of the Montessori mathematics environment, prepared by AMI 6-12 Trainer Virginia Viscovic at the Montessori Institute of North Texas. Cohorts for the next diploma course are enrolling now.

🕊️ “Peace is what every human being is craving for, and it can be brought about by humanity through the child.” — Dr. Maria Montessori

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause to honor the enduring legacy of a man who championed justice, equity, and peace.

At Forbes Academy, our commitment to Montessori education means we nurture these values in every child, helping them become empathetic, courageous, and purpose-driven leaders. We believe that education is the most powerful tool to shape a more compassionate world.

As we look toward our opening, we carry Dr. King’s dream in our hearts and our mission: to build a space where every child is seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

💜💛

“Establishing lasting peace is the work of education.”
– Maria Montessori

As we close out the year, we’re filled with gratitude. From our first community Get Hiked! event to partnering with local businesses and volunteering with the Chamber, Forbes Academy has been planting deep roots in Georgetown.

We’re getting closer to opening our doors and creating a Montessori space where every child is empowered to thrive. Thank you for believing in our mission and supporting both Forbes Academy and the Forbes Academy Foundation.

This is only the beginning.
