Our Vision

Our vision is of a world that lives in peace; a world community based on interdependence and respect for all life and all people. A Montessori school community of supportive parents, dedicated teachers and staff, and joyful learners.

Our Mission

We strive to educate the children to learn more about their identity, their self-independence, self-efficacy, their role in the immediate community, the idea of peaceful coexistence and their global obligations as citizens of the world.

Hillcrest Montessori Academy (HMA) rests on four pillars

Excellence

The cultivation within our students of a passion for excellence in everything they do, both in and outside of school.

Respect

We nurture core values such as respect, honesty, empathy, integrity, kindness, and community—building strong character and deeper human connection.

Global Citizenship

The development of a global perspective and sense of international  understanding.

Social Responsibility

And a lifelong commitment to give something back through service to others who are in need.
