About Amelia Island Montessori School

We celebrate each child’s individuality and help them discover how they can best contribute to our world and culture. All children are naturally curious and love to learn; we support this innate drive by providing environments that meet children’s developmental needs, guided by a staff of loving and well-prepared adults, and building a community of families that actively support our mission. Amelia Island Montessori School (AIMS) is an independent, non-profit school in Fernandina Beach, Florida, offering a private education true to the original teachings of Dr. Maria Montessori. Founded in 1973, AIMS sits on a beautiful, wooded campus within walking distance to the Atlantic Ocean. We are the only school in Nassau County to earn the prestigious Florida Council of Independent Schools accreditation and are accredited by the American Montessori Society. We welcome children from 18 months to 12 years of age. AIMS is a place where children love learning and learn the skills that will prepare them for life - where they can benefit from an individualized curriculum, caring faculty, and a method of education that has influenced innovators and thinkers for more than a century.
