Discover an Exceptional K-5 Education at Montessori Reggio Academy of Sugar Land

At Montessori Reggio Academy of Sugar Land, our private K–5 elementary program blends the proven principles of Montessori education with the creative inspiration of the Reggio Emilia philosophy to cultivate confident, independent learners prepared for future academic success and real-world challenges. Designed to meet the needs of today’s students while nurturing a love of learning, our elementary school program stands out as one of the top private school options in Sugar Land, Texas.

Why Choose Our K–5 Program?

Our elementary curriculum integrates hands-on, project-based learning, a strong bilingual language program (Spanish and Mandarin), and advanced S.T.E.A.M.program, as well as IXL technology integration to deliver a well-rounded, enriched education. Students learn in multi-age classrooms, which foster leadership, mentorship, and collaboration. Each child is empowered to take ownership of their learning journey, supported by certified, experienced Montessori educators who foster both academic excellence and emotional growth, all while aligning with Fort Bend ISD standards.

Project-Based Learning Inspired by Reggio Emilia

In our thoughtfully prepared Reggio-inspired environment, students explore monthly themes through collaborative, cross-disciplinary projects that promote critical thinking, creativity, and curiosity. From scientific experiments to cultural studies and artistic expression, children take ownership of their learning and connect classroom topics to the world around them.

Bilingual Language Immersion: Spanish and Mandarin

Students benefit from daily instruction in both Spanish and Mandarin, enhancing cognitive flexibility, cultural awareness, and communication skills, key competencies for global citizens in the 21st century.

Academic Excellence with Real-Life Skills

Our curriculum aligns with Fort Bend ISD standards, but it goes far beyond traditional classroom models. At Montessori Reggio Academy, we believe education should enrich and nurture the whole child (academically, emotionally, socially, and creatively), while honoring the diverse learning needs of every student.

We recognize what many schools don’t: no two children learn in exactly the same way. That’s why our proven Montessori-Reggio methods give students the space and support to learn, grow, and thrive in the way that works best for them. This individualized approach fosters independence, confidence, and curiosity, helping children become passionate, lifelong learners who are excited to explore and discover. At MRA, we go beyond traditional classroom models to empower lifelong learners who are curious, confident, and ready to thrive.
