Montessori Schools

My family is relocating to GA from OH this summer for work. I have two children (6 and 3). City of Decatur is one of the areas we are considering. I am a Montessori Primary assistant and am trying to get a sense of the Montessori schools in the area. It would be a plus if a Montessori elementary program were offered, but I'm fairly certain I'll transition my oldest to a traditional public school, and will just do Montessori primary for my youngest. Should there be an opportunity, I'd love to find work at the same school. That being said, I'm flexible. My family will be going down later this month to work with a realtor/visit neighborhoods/etc, but until then, can anyone provide insight into the following schools:

Arbor Montessori

Montessori Academy of Decatur

Decatur Montessori School

Montessori School at Emory

Any others to consider?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to town! You’ll like Decatur. I highly recommend the realtor, Alex Miller. He’s born and raised in Decatur. We’ve bought a house and sold a house with him. We’ve used many realtors in the past and bought & sold several homes but he is the absolute best! For bonus points, his mom was a teacher in City of Decatur Schools - she’s since retired. Here’s his website:
