History
Montessori School of Anderson was founded in 1973 as a preschool, when they borrowed basement space from a local church. In 1974, two acres of land on Sam McGee Road were bought and were used to construct classrooms. Over many years, more acres were bought on that road and were used to construct a larger campus. The school also gradually brought about more programs for different educational levels and age groups.
Funding
Montessori School of Anderson is classified by state law as a nonprofit organization. It is primarily funded by student tuition.
