Welcome to Joseph Bruno Montessori Academy! I know that where you send your child to school is an important family decision. I am excited to share with you information about Montessori education and our school. JBMA has been serving students in the Birmingham area for over thirty years. I encourage you to learn more about our programs and explore our website to see what makes JBMA an engaging and innovative learning environment for toddlers through the 8th grade.
The Montessori environment is designed to embrace the natural curiosity and enthusiasm of young learners. I look forward to answering your questions by phone, e-mail or in person. Tour our campus and attend some of our events to experience the wonder of Montessori education first hand.
I truly value the opportunity to share the JBMA experience with you as I get to know you and your family.
Warm Regards,
Anthony Marino
How to Apply
All prospective families are encouraged to contact us for a campus tour. After touring the campus, we will invite prospective families to submit an application to begin the enrollment process.
Once our current families return their contracts in early spring, we are able to determine our openings for the following year. JBMA does have rolling admissions throughout the school year when spaces are available. The Admissions Department will notify applicants of acceptance. The contract will then be sent by mail and must be returned with a deposit of $500 within 10 days to secure the space for your child. Payment for the school year is made in accordance with the payment option chosen on the contract by the due date indicated on the contract.
