Founded in 2006, the Island Montessori Academy was the only not-for-profit educational facility on Marco. It has grown to include Toddler, Primary, and Elementary programs over the last four years. We hope to expand our Toddler program and include an Upper Elementary program (grades 4-6) over the next three years.
The IMA Development Fund supports the Island Montessori Academy, which is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. As an independent school, we rely on fundraising and donations to assist with: Montessori materials, playground improvements, field trips, school expansion, and need-based financial aid and scholarships.
