About Magnolia Montessori For All
Magnolia Montessori Public Charter School
Magnolia Montessori For All is an open-enrollment public charter school dedicated to providing high-quality Montessori education. Following a whole-child approach, the program emphasizes intellectual, social, and physical development through multi-age classrooms and student-led projects. The campus features 16 specialized buildings designed for experiential learning, complete with outdoor classrooms and rain gardens. For the youngest learners, the 'El Oso' infant and toddler community offers a nurturing, bilingual environment for children starting at 8 weeks old. While the school is tuition-free for most eligible students from Kindergarten through 8th grade, tuition may apply for Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 students who do not meet Texas state eligibility requirements. Families join a mission-driven community where students benefit from long-term relationships with teachers who often remain with the same class for three-year cycles, fostering deep mentorship and consistency.
