Located downtown at 631 2nd Ave South, amid a booming downtown Nashville landscape that changes week by week—with high-rises reshaping the skyline and new construction filling the streets—Sage Montessori School of Nashville offers something rare and necessary: a steady, peaceful harbor for young children.
Sage Montessori School of Nashville is a member of the Wildflower Network of schools, in Nashville, the first Wildflower school in Tennessee. Wildflower is an ecosystem of decentralized Montessori micro-schools that support children, teachers, and parents. Wildflower aspires to give all children and families the opportunity to choose high-quality, beautiful learning environments as they folllow life’s unfolding journey.
An Authentic Montessori School
The Montessori Method emerges from the belief that children are naturally good, peaceful and curious and that in the context of a supportive environment, all children engage instinctively in the work of self-construction. With appropriate freedoms and the right support, children follow their interests to create rich learning experiences, form peaceful communities, and support and learn from one another. We are dedicated to the preparation of environments and ourselves to support the development of children.
An Intentionally Small Community
As an intentionally-small, community embedded learning environment, our school allows us to serve every child and family in deep and meaningful partnership with their teacher leaders.
A Place for All
Sage Montessori School of Nashville admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs.

Full-Day Primary
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 number sense.
Cultural Studies
Geography, biology, music, and art invite wonder and cultivate a child's sense of place in the wider world.
