Formerly Minnesota Renaissance School, Montessori Renaissance Academy (MRA) is a private, 501(c)3 nonprofit Montessori school located in the north metropolitan suburb of Anoka, MN. For more than 22 years, we have been providing children from 16 months through 8th grade with an alternative to more traditional schools.
Our goal is to create a learning environment that meets the needs of each child. We do so by following the philosophy and methods developed by Dr. Maria Montessori throughout the child’s early years and continue to leverage those concepts during the child’s middle school years.
In this video, Children’s House teacher Karla Wagner explains some of the principles of Montessori, and walks you through how children progress at the school. From the toddler years through elementary and middle school, our children love the small classrooms, one-on-one teacher lessons, and the ability to progress at their own rate.
