Elizabeth Academy

Elizabeth Academy is an inclusive private non-profit Montessori school located in the East Millcreek area of Salt Lake City. Since 2009, we have been guiding students to develop the skills they need to be successful in life. Elizabeth Academy embraces educational best practices to guide, inspire and challenge its students. Currently, we serve over 250 students from 18 months to 14 years of age, and we will be adding an Infant class and a 9th grade class for the 2017-18 school year. Elizabeth Academy is a Member School of the American Montessori Society and the Utah Montessori Council. We are certified by both MEPI (Montessori Educational Programs International) and IMI (The Institute for Montessori Innovation at Westminster College) as a teacher training and internship site.
