New Discoveries Montessori Academy
New Discoveries Montessori Academy (NDMA) is a public charter Montessori school in rural Minnesota. We serve children and families in a 35 mile radius of our facility. NDMA has co-teachers in every classroom beyond Children’s House: one general education teacher, and one special education teacher. In addition, we have one to five Teaching Partners (paraprofessionals) serving in each classroom. Gardening and environmental learning are becoming a centerpiece of our curriculum.
