About The Academy of Thought and Industry
The future of school isn’t about moving from one set of exams to the next. It’s about becoming the person you want to be, and feeling fulfilled and supported along the way.
The Academy of Thought and Industry (ATI) is a Montessori-inspired middle and high school. Our unique program is rooted in a curriculum that emphasizes thinking and doing, to acquire deep knowledge and understanding. Students unlock their potential with the help of individualized coaching, low student to teacher ratios, and a supportive school community. They learn how to set goals and how to achieve them; they fall in love with learning; they combine deep rigorous academic study with the freedom to pursue projects based on interest, passion, and curiosity.
We believe that students, in the right environment, are capable of extraordinary learning and extraordinary work: and we help unlock that potential at ATI.
