East Fort Worth Montessori Academy

East Fort Worth Montessori Academy sits in the 76103 zip code on Fort Worth's east side, a working-class area with a strong Latino community and a neighborhood feel that's a world away from the city's glitzier western suburbs. The school's Montessori approach attracts families who want something different from a traditional classroom, and English scores are a genuine bright spot — though math is an area where families should go in with eyes open and supplement at home if needed. It's a good fit for parents drawn to self-directed learning who are also invested in being active partners in their child's education.
