A Wildflower Member School · Nashville, TN
Where Children
Flourish Freely
A teacher-led, community-embedded Montessori microschool rooted in Nashville — and in the belief that every child is fundamentally curious, peaceful, and good.
Sage Montessori of Nashville is a proud member of the Wildflower Schools network — over 80 teacher-led Montessori microschools across the US.
Our Foundation
Rooted in
Deep Trust
We believe children are fundamentally peaceful, curious, and good. Our classroom is designed so that truth can unfold on its own — through hands-on materials, mixed-age community, and educators who follow the child rather than the curriculum.
We believe the same things about teachers. Sage Montessori is teacher-led because schools can only work for children and families when they truly work for educators too.
Our ApproachFollow the Child
Every child's learning pace and path is honored. Materials invite exploration; adults observe and guide.
Mixed-Age Community
Three-year cycles build deep bonds and let children teach and learn from one another every day.
Community-Embedded
Nashville is our neighborhood and our classroom. Families, local partners, and culture all shape our school.
Proven Growth
Authentic Montessori practice produces measurable academic, social, and emotional development.
What We Offer
The Primary Program
Our Primary classroom serves children ages 3 through 6 in a carefully prepared Montessori environment. Learning unfolds across five key areas each day.
Practical Life
Pouring, buttoning, sweeping — purposeful work that builds concentration, coordination, and independence.
Sensorial
Hands-on materials isolate qualities — color, weight, texture, sound — sharpening the senses for deeper learning.
Language
Spoken language, phonics, writing, and early reading emerge through materials designed to follow natural development.
Mathematics
Abstract concepts become concrete — children touch and count before they calculate, building genuine number sense.
Cultural Studies
Geography, biology, music, and art invite wonder and cultivate a child's sense of place in the wider world.
A Day at Sage
Life in the Classroom
Children arrive, greet one another, and settle into the rhythm of the day together.
Three hours of self-directed, hands-on Montessori work — the heart of every day.
Fresh air, movement, and a family-style lunch shared at table together.
A second work period, music, cultural activities, and a closing circle.

What Nashville Parents Say

"What surprised me most was how calm the classroom is. Not silent — alive and busy — but deeply peaceful. You can feel that the children feel safe."— Parent, Nashville Family
