Montessori Renaissance Academy (MRA) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, fueled by parents and school staff.
Formerly known as Minnesota Renaissance School, MRA officially started operating in August of 2017. The school as a whole has more than 22 years of history in Anoka, Minnesota. We currently enroll toddlers, pre-school, and elementary students and have a full middle school curriculum as well.
Our goal at Montessori Renaissance Academy is to provide the best possible education for each and every student at our school. The Montessori method allows us to help children grow and learn independently, while learning quality life skills.
Through a combination of positive social interaction and the successful manipulation of classroom materials the child learns to become self-motivated, independent and self-confident. With today’s technological society, individuals who have a well-rounded education, with a solid knowledge base, who have the ability to think creatively and solve problems, will be the most successful adults.
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.
