Montessori Private Academy is an independent private school offering a comprehensive education for children aged 18 months to 14 years old in a challenging yet nurturing environment.  In addition, we offer classes for toddlers and infants with their parents as well as community education and parenting workshops.  

Montessori Private Academy (MPA) is a great place to learn and a fun place to be! Students, parents, grandparents and staff make up a committed school community that works together to educate children. Since 1983, MPA has served Rockford, Belvidere and surrounding communities as the only private Montessori offering Young Child, Early Childhood, Elementary and Middle School classes.
